Here is the newest Sports Illustrated cover that landed in my mailbox:
The countdown is officially on…
Only 4 more games left in historic Yankee Stadium. It is sad. It is even more sad that there will not be playoffs games played in Yankee Stadium this year. As a Yankee fan, it is a tough pill to swallow.
It ranks right up there in sports sadness with…
- Michael Jordan retiring.
- The Titans coming a yard short from winning the Super Bowl in 2000.
- Michael Jordan retiring again.
- My intramural basketball team, INJURY PRONE, losing the 2003 championship game.
- The Yankees 2004 ALCS collapse (known in the Cromer house as “the playoffs we do not speak of”).
- Michael Jordan retiring yet again.
What sad sports moment is on your list?

No shout out to the Haggards being upset in Softball…what’s up w/that?
Magic Johnson’s forced retirement when he was diagnosed with HIV
The saddest moment in sport history. When Elise Rascoe (Yogi) retired from softball. I cried for weeks…..
RW – I have totally blocked that incredibly horrible memory from my brain. Thanks for bringing it back up and in the process bringing me to tears. I guess it’s back to counseling for me.
Freano…Pop out. That’s all I have to say about that.
