Most courageous sporting moment

[milehigh]

1. Matt Dunigan - broken collarbone throwing side 91 Grey Cup victory in freezing conditions.

2. After I busted my toe one winter, I still limped up to ALphaCare... saw the departed Samantha.

Actually that sounds kind of creepy like she died, didn't mean it that way... she actually went to Blue Pearl Spa.

(Pop your lips when you say the B and P in Blue and Pearl like the girls that work there do).

Playing for the Hamilton Tiger Cats or Buffalo Bills this year.

Cardinal, you think that's bad? Try playing for the Detroit Tigers!!!!!

Point well taken......

Sandy Koufax refusing to pitch in a World Series game on Yom Kippur has to rate an honourable mention. Kerri Strug's vault in the 1996 Olympics, Bobby Baun scoring the overtime goal with a broken leg, any left handed batter stepping up against a younger Randy Johnson...

Donovan McNabb playing on a broken foot during the Cardinal game last year in which the Eagles won.

LOL!!!

A poor un-named Christian taking on the Lions at the Colliseum in Rome, circa 150 B.C.

'Cause there were all kinds of Christians running around the Colloseum one hundred and fifty years before the birth of Christ!!

Sandy Koufax refusing to pitch in a World Series game on Yom Kippur has to rate an honourable mention.

This one's more of a non-moment...he didn't play. It was a moment of integrity but not a moment in sports.

Steve Yzerman showed a lot of courage when he was playing with one good knee during their team run at the 2002 stanley cup.

A few Olympics ago, there was a long track runner who fell and broke either his ankle or leg after he fell. He picked himself off the track and with the help of his father, crossed the finish line. Seeing this brought tears to my eyes.

Jackie Robinson - everything surrounding his first major league appearance and season.

Other notables:

Roger Maris - to hit the 61 homers under the conditions he did, especailly for those times, was quite remarkable

Buck Martinez - the play mentioned earlier in this thread, the second put-out was remarkable with an amazing throw by George Bell.

Any Israeli athelete that kept competing in the Munich Olympics after the massacre

We can't forget James Worthy of the LA Lakers still managing to play a playoff game after getting busted trying to solicit off of an undercover cop - on the way to the game.

What dedication!!!!

Here we go again...

Any Israeli athelete that kept competing in the Munich Olympics after the massacre

Yet another non-event. Since all the survivors went home without continuing the games.
