The King (and not Elvis)
"I ran scared. When I was a kid my mother would send me to the store for a loaf of bread and I would run back home because it was a tough neighborhood. So that's how I carried the football -- like a loaf of bread, and scared as hell."
--Hall of Fame running back Hugh "The King" McElhenny

Pitcher Al Downing was in attendance during two of baseball's most celebrated homeruns: he was a Yankees rookie in the dugout when Roger Maris hit his 61st homer in 1961, and he served up Hank Aaron's 715th as a Dodger in 1974.
