Re: [FRC Blog] Kickoff Broadcast and Game Hint Redux
Porting my (and George1902's) Findings to here:
Quote:
Using the idea that the first number (EDIT: Of each pair) is a date, I searched June 14, 1974, December 6, 1961 (Could be January 26, '61 however), and March 26, 1962.
Those dates yielded some interesting results. June 14th '74 was the date Nolan Ryan stuck out 19 Red Sox in 12 innings. December 6, 1961 was the day the Heisman was awarded in that particular year. March 26 1962 was the birthday of several athletes, covering Baseball, basketball and soccer, and was the day the inventor of wax paper died.
January 26, 1961 (the alternative option to Dec 6 61) was the day Elvis Presley's hit "Are you lonesome tonight?" peaked to #1, and is the birthday of Hockey great Wayne Gretzky.
Lots of references to sports.

Wayne Gretzky holds the regular season record for career assists: 1963.
John Stockton holds this record in basketball: 15806.

John Stockton was the basketball player born on 3/26/62.
EDIT: Steve Ralston, Born June 14, 1974, is the all-time career leader in assists in the MLS at 135.
3 Sports references, all different sports, all have the "assist" as a tracked statistic. Something to do with assists methinks.
