I watched this game when I was 12. My father, and the whole neighborhood, exploded. The streets of Pittsburgh were filled with people chanting USA, waving flags, hugging and kissing each other, and crying for joy. Even at that age, I knew that things were gonna change.

One of the greatest accomplishments in sports history.

The next miracle for people playing sports is how to avoid that jab.
