Clay-Liston
50th Anniversary Feb. 25, 1964
Clay beats Sonny Liston
1.) Tuesday was the 50th Anniversary of
the Cassius Clay – Sonny Liston fight – Ali Won in an upset and really changed
the sport – Liston could not answer the bell for the start of the 7th
round. First time Ali said, “Float like
a butterfly and sting like a bee.” Clay
was 22. Though I don’t remember this
fight I remember most of his other fights and his weigh ins were at times just
as entertaining. But he did a lot for
the sport.
2.)
Manager-Buck Showalter makes a minor leaguer write a report on Frank
Robinson. When Mr. Robinson came to
address the team at which included minor league players a 19 year old said, “I
know he is famous what did he do?”
Showalter’s basically said write a one page report. The young player didn’t know all of his achievement’s
that Frank Robinson made which were, 4 World Series appearances, MVP award in
both American & National League Triple Crown winner First African American Baseball
Manager. Are just to name a few.
3.) In College
Basketball Wichita State is
30-0
They are the first team since UNLV team 1990-91
Which started 34-0 and they are the 6th
team to be 30-0 after reaching the final 4.
The previous 5 made the final four as well. Can they do it again?
We will have to wait and see.
We will be opening up the floor to you. What do you want to talk about in the world of
sports tonight?
