Len’s Top Five


Thursday, September 10

Len's Top 5

Happy Thursday everyone, here's my Top 5 for September 10, 2009 from Len Berman Sports.

1. Quick Hits

* Derek Jeter got three hits last night to tie Lou Gehrig for the all time Yankee hit mark.

* Midnight for Cinderella. 17-year old American Melanie Oudin loses in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open to Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki. Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic reach the men's semi-finals.

* The NFL season begins tonight. Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh hosts Tennessee.

* Allen Iverson is signing with the Memphis Grizzlies.

2. Yankee Panky

God I miss the good old days. George Steinbrenner calling out players. Hank Steinbrenner saying something dopey. (He has now all but disappeared as brother Hal runs the team.) A-Rod making ridiculous headlines. These days its' just win win win. They're both good and boring. How disappointing.

3. Hit Parade

What do Tim Wallach, Carl Crawford, and Ed Kranepool all have in common? Time's up. They are the all-time hit leaders for their respective franchises. Montreal/Washington, Tampa Bay, New York Mets. It's difficult for other teams to have the sex appeal of Jeter chasing Gehrig. Then again, none of those franchises existed before 1962.

4. Fat Chance

The British tabloid The Star reports if you're fat and you want to attend the 2012 Olympics in London, you have 3 years to start trimming down. They say that the British are the fattest Europeans and thought was given to making the 80,000 seats at the Olympic Stadium larger to accommodate them. But in the end they decided that you can cram more people in with "regular" size seats. So in typical tabloid fashion The Star trumpets "no leeway for lardies." And I guess no crumpets either.

5. Hail Mary

A Kentucky high school football coach is catching flak for taking 20 players on a field trip to a church where half of them got baptized. One mother claimed "nobody should push their faith on anyone else." Actually, what really pissed her off were those free circumcisions.

Happy Birthday: The King. The great Arnold Palmer. 80.
Bonus Birthday: Roger Maris would have been 75 today.

Today in Sports: Giants catcher Ray Katt has a little trouble with Hoyt Wilhelm's knuckleball. He sets a record with 4 passed balls in the same inning. 1954.
Bonus Event: I yam what I yam. Popeye airs for the first time on radio. (He was sponsored by a breakfast cereal, so that's what he ate, not spinach.)1935.
