Images of the 20th Century:
This video was posted a long time ago, and I made a stab at trying to identify every single image that appears. Now that we've almost tripled our membership since then, I'm wondering if anyone can help fill in the holes.

Biggest emotional moments for me: "I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." "I don't believe...what I just saw!" "Do you believe in Miracles? Yes!" Joe Carter leaping. "He did it! He did it!" (Doug Flutie) "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!" Jana Navotna crying. Best piece of video: Barry Sanders dodging Bears.

Yeah, thanks for nothing, grum. Bear Bryant is the coach around 3:26 with the plaid hat. Joe Paterno is shortly after that with the whistle around his neck.

Viewing this video may lead to tears welling in your eyes and sniffling. That's pretty much the reaction I had when I saw that Hank Aaron was given as much time as Kenny Lofton and three seconds less than Kirk Gibson. Two seconds for Jackie Robinson. 4:37 is Schmidt's 500th home run. (My assistance out of respect for the person who asked, and should not be taken as even reticent acceptance of this piece of trash. I love Babe Ruth, too, don't get me wrong, and he deserves due time here, but c'mon guys. Jackie freakin' Robinson.)

grum, I picked out a couple, and I'm not sure about a couple, but here goes. 0:00 - Jake LaMotta (not sure); 0:01 - Magic and Larry Legend, in the '79 NCAA Championship Game; 0:13 - George Mikan; 0:18 - Joe Louis; 0:44 - John Wooden; 0:52 - Sugar Ray Robinson; 2:14 - Jim Brown; 2:18 - Bill Russell; 3:18 - Michael Jordan; 3:25 - Paul "Bear" Bryant; 3:26 - Paul "Bear" Bryant; 3:26 - Dean Smith; 3:26 - George Halas; 3:27 - Knute Rockne; 3:27 - Joe Paterno; 3:58 - Rocky Marciano (not sure); 4:21 - Daryl Dawkins; 5:02 - Grant Hill; 5:04 - N.C. State's David Thompson; 5:08 - Allen Iverson, putting the crossover on MJ; 5:23 - Justin Leonard; 5:24 - Chamique Holdsclaw and Coach Pat Summitt. Personally, if I never see that clip of John Riggins righting himself after breaking out of Don McNeal's arm tackle again, it'll be too soon. Ditto the photo of Kellen Winslow being carted off the field after running wild against the Dolphins in The Greatest Playoff Game In NFL History.

At 0:04 that is definitely Beamon and from the bib number it looks like the 1968 Olympics. Whether that is the actual world-record jump or not, I can't say.

From the uniforms I'd say that clip of the Cardinals fooling around at 0:03 is from the 20's or 30's, maybe the "gashouse gang" team. I've seen that clip before but I can't name the players.

At 4:33 I believe (I am not certain) that this is the famous "Punch" Line: Maurice "Rocket" Richard, Elmer Lach, and Hector "Toe" Blake.

Pretty awesome; I didn't see it the first time. Two details: the shot of Holdsclaw crying at 5:24 was after she fouled out in her final college game, a loss to Duke in the NCAA elite eight in Greensboro Coliseum, breaking a string of three straight national titles. (date 3/22/99). (I was there; probably my all-time personal sporting moment.) I believe the Grant Hill dunk at 5:02 was during the Duke-Kansas NCAA title game on 4/1/1991- the game after the upset of UNLV. Shame spofiwiki has been abandoned; this would have been perfect for that.

Yes, damn you, that was the Duke/Kansas game of 1991. I was hoping nobody would notice. By the way, I just had some clients come into my office and I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. I had to show them the video to explain it. Thank god they're sports freaks as much as me.

From the uniforms I'd say that clip of the Cardinals fooling around at 0:03 is from the 20's or 30's, maybe the "gashouse gang" team. I've seen that clip before but I can't name the players. Here's about the best guess that I can offer on 0:03, which is video of members of the St. Louis Cardinals' famous Gas House Gang. I'm assuming the video to have been taken during the 1934 World Series because of the number of reporters walking around on the field during the pregame warmups. From left to right, I believe the three players to be: * First baseman James Anthony "Ripper" Collins, 5-9, 165 pounds, lefty -- known to be one of the ringleaders of the Gang and one of the few lefties on the squad. I did my best to match up his face with a 1934 Goudey card, and I think it's him. * Third baseman Johnny Leonard Roosevelt "Pepper" Martin, 5-8, 170 pounds, righty -- "The Wild Horse of the Osage" and also well-known as one of those prone to antics before the games. Martin was known for his muscular frame, and although it could also be Joe "Ducky" Medwick, the relative height compared to Collins makes me think it's Pepper; and * Pitcher Jay Hanna "Dizzy" Dean, 6-2, 180 pounds, righty -- always known as ready to get in on a gag or on camera. Although the face is difficult to make out, the player's height rules out almost everyone else. Thoughts?

0:54 - Toronto Maple Leaf Stanley Cup champions (1967 [last one] or 1942 [win despite 0-3 deficit in finals]) Wouldn't be 1967. The 1967 jerseys had numbers on the sleeves. In 1948, the Cup became a two-piece trophy with a removable bowl and became a one piece trophy in 1958. So that leaves Leafs Cups in 1950-51, 1948-49, and 1947-48 1951 was the Barilko year, but they were wearing white when they won. Leafs clinched at home in 1949 and in Detroit in 1948. If the Leafs were in white at home in 1951, and we assume that the colour scheme was consistent for their two earlier Cups, the clip would suggest a victory on the road, so 47-48. The first two piece Cup. Ta da.
