Tomorrow, my husband and our two sons will see the Harlem Globetrotters play the hapless Washington Generals. I went years ago with my dad and caught them on TV whenever I could. I enjoyed the antics and fancy ball-handling of Curly Neal, Twiggy Sanders, Sweet Lou Dunbar and Meadowlark Lemon. I remember when Lynette Woodard joined them.
Cool fact: “Globetrotters have lost 345 games over the course of eight-plus decades. However, with over 23,000 wins, the Globetrotters do own the best winning percentage (.985) in the history of professional sports.”
What are your favorite sports memories?
