"Sore Armed Stagg Strikes Out Many"
June 26, 1888 - In the great book, Amos Alonzo Stagg: College Football's Man in Motion by our friend Jennifer Taylor Hall we learned that just three days after pitching an 8-0 shutout to lead Yale over Harvard for a share of the league championship, Stagg took the mound again for the Elis. With his arm still numb from the hard throwing a few days earlier, Lonnie Stagg pitched a game underhand forcing 17 pop fly outs by Harvard to help give Yale a 5-3 victory.
Stagg's determination and competitiveness would later inspire his gridiron players.
"Shannon Sharpe Hall of Fame Tight End"
Born on June 26, 1968, in Chicago, Illinois, Shannon Sharpe carved out a Hall of Fame career as a dynamic tight end in the National Football League.
