Default What we thought we knew about the Super Bowl years was wrong! [merged]
Quote:
"Boston has an amazing set of remarkable athletes whose actions in the moment have become (sic) ionic in sports. Havlicek stole the ball. Fisk waved the ball fair. Flutie launched the Hail Mary pass. Varitek split the uprights. Today we honor one of the most brilliant moments: Bobby Orr flying through the air. Who could forget that play against St. Louis as the Bruins beat the Blues to bring a Stanley Cup to Boston?"
Menino: 'Varitek split the upright' in 'ionic' moment


Menino, dropping some knowledge on the rest of us.

Hitting a home run between the foul poles is splitting the uprights.

That's all well and good, but when are we going to honor Will Brussels and Lucky Bird damn it!

Only the great ones like Mike MacGuire can do it.

Given the context of his speech...I'm willing to bet that he was referring to "splitting the uprights" in football and Vinatieri. Maybe I'm just incredibly forgetful...but I can't remember a homerun Tek hit that was an iconic Boston sports moment in itself. Vinatieri on the other hand, has quite a few iconic moments with the Pats. I'm gonna go with football on this one.
