July 7, 201610 yr Sounds like that was one of those "I remember exactly where I was when that happened" events... The Challenger. I think we've discussed that before.
July 7, 201610 yr Author I was 5 when the OJ verdict and OKC bombing occurred... can't remember it well. Princess Diana was a big deal, but it didn't really affect me as a 7 year old. Columbine shooting is a little fuzzy... But the news story that I remember vividly is 9/11. Sixth grade at the time. We all congregated in one classroom where the teachers wheeled in a TV to watch the news. My teacher Miss Haggerty was trying to explain the situation to us, and couldn't hold back the tears. That was a terrible day.

July 8, 201610 yr To piggy back off of ben's post yesterday, what was your first crystal clear sports memory? Probably when the baseball player sliding into 2B gets mauled by a tiger in Naked Gun.
July 9, 201610 yr To piggy back off of ben's post yesterday, what was your first crystal clear sports memory? Koufax squashing the Yankees like bugs, must have been 1963. Game was piped in to our classroom on the intercom, as a reward for being good kids apparently.
July 9, 201610 yr I can't imagine we're going to have warm and fuzzy answers being Minnesota sports fans.... Hey, that Braves team was bad...real bad, but Horner was a joy to watch! Hrbek without the a-hole element Kent brings.
