Hall of Fame
Looking into the archives, a lot of very strange, bizarre, unlikely, and even tragic things happened throughout 1994 in the sport's world.
- Nancy Kerrigan gets attacked at an arena which was later revealed to be a conspiracy led by her rival Tanya Harding
- Buffalo Bills lost their 4th straight (yes 4th straight) Super Bowl game.....poor Buffalo fans
- Michael Jordan retired at the peak of his NBA career to play minor league baseball (one of the biggest wtf moments in all of sports)
- Ayrton Senna was tragically killed in a crash at the San Marino Grand Prix (such a heartbreaking event
)
- NY Rangers broke their 54 year title drought (the longest spell in NHL history...unless the Leafs surpass this in a couple years)
- NBA Finals gets interrupted by OJ Simpson's infamous Bronco car chase on the LA freeway
- The entire OJ Simpson trial was just filled with bizarreness but we couldn’t and still can’t take our eyes off it
- Steffi Graf lost in the first round at Wimbledon....how tf did that happen?!? The last and only other time she lost in the first round at a major was when she was 15 years old
- USA hosted the World Cup....yes the country that calls it soccer hosted the WC and in terms of attendance, it was the largest ever World Cup
- Andres Escobar was tragically killed in his native Colombia after losing at the WC (again, another horrible and gut-wrenching story
)
- Sweden and Bulgaria made the final four....never thought I'd see either of those nations go that deep at the WC
- The World Cup final ended in penalty shootouts with Brazil beating Italy....at the time, that was the first time that had EVER happened
- The MLB season gets abruptly cancelled due to a players strike and for the first time 1904, there was no WS champion
- Not even 2 months later, the NHL went into lockdown over bargaining disputes and just like that, two of North America's big four leagues were on strike
- George Foreman at age 45 won the Heavyweight Championship....yes at 45 years old Foreman became the OLDEST Heavyweight champ beating a then 27-year old Michael Moorer
