What a Week!

Tom Walsh — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 00:00:00 UTC

Very few weeks present more of the world's top sporting events than the one ahead. A quick summary follows on what is ahead in the coming days. The French Open (#36 on TUSL), the second leg of tennis' Grand Slam, concludes this weekend in Paris.

25 Years Ago, Ryder Cup Came of Age

Tom Walsh — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 00:00:00 UTC

It was 25 years ago, almost to the day, that I got the call. It was my friend Jack Fraser, who called on me at the time from his job at First Boston. Jack and I had played a little golf over the years, and he knew I was a big fan. Jack said, “Tom, I have two passes to the Ryder Cup Matches this Sunday at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Columbus. It’s the final day. You interested?” While I admittedly didn’t know much about the Ryder Cup at the time (I knew it was a biennial competition between the US and Europe, and the US usually won), I ...

A League of Champions

Erik Flynn — Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:00 UTC

Americans love a good tournament, but sometime seem to struggle get it right (BCS? Expansion of March Madness? MLB postseason too long? NFL overtime rules?). The Europeans get the Champions League right; take the biggest teams in the world’s biggest sport in the biggest leagues with the biggest players, the biggest sponsors, biggest fan bases, biggest arenas, and the biggest stages, and make them do battle for Europe’s biggest prize – the continent’s best soccer club. All. Year. Long. Beginning in mid-July, the top teams in the top leagues of Europe begin a ...

The World's Greatest College Weekend

Erik Flynn — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:00:00 UTC

If college is supposed to be the best four years of your life, what does that make the Little 500, which claims to be the “World’s Greatest College Weekend”? The “Little Five” is an annual bike race for the Indiana University Student Foundation consisting of 33 teams of four, representing fraternities or sororities, student organizations, or non-sponsored teams put together by students. Non-Greek competitors don the title of “Cutters”, taking the name of the local racers dramatized in the 1979 film Breaking Away. The race takes ...

With the Little League World Series beginning this week, we thought we would feature nine can't miss baseball events and venues, with a catch. We went off the grid and looked at events that don't involve the major leagues to find our nine favorites. No World Series or All Star Game; no Wrigley or Fenway; but nine events and places that every baseball fan should experience. The Little League World Series (#49 on The Ultimate Sports List) -- Since 1947, the world’s best little league baseball teams – players 11, 12 and 13 years old -- have ...

And You Think March is Madness? Try the FA Cup

All of America goes gaga in early March as they scramble to fill out their brackets for March Madness. After all, there are 68 teams to choose from and it's quite a task trying to pick your final four, while sprinkling in a few well-timed upsets here and there.

Opening Day: An Official Holiday in Cincy?

Tom Walsh — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 00:00:00 UTC

Although baseball's opening day is special in every city, Cincinnati's has long been considered the creme-de-la-creme. Professional baseball's first team is the only one to open each year at home and its fans celebrate the entire day like no other. Sports Illustrated's Frank Deford once said,"... the citizens celebrate with the same display of annual ardor that lapsed Christians save for Easter." And USA Today chimed in with, "Cincinnati has traditionally been the showcase season opener ... nothing else has the glitz of the Reds and opening day. It's ...

The Ultimate College Hockey Fan

There are college hockey fans. There are big college hockey fans. And then there is Steve Glazewski of Dayton, Ohio. He’s a 1984 graduate of the University of Wisconsin, one of the traditional college hockey powers. And he received his Masters from Miami University, one of college hockey’s up-and-coming elite. So what makes Steve college hockey’s biggest fan? It started, believe it or not, while Steve was watching Monday Night Football sometime back in the 1990’s. As Steve recalls, “I remember watching Monday Night Football when the announcers ...

16th Hole at the Phoenix Open

With all the buzz about Sunday's Super Bowl, one very unique event that occurs this weekend often gets overlooked. The Ultimate Sports List has much representation from the world of golf, including the Masters, The Ryder Cup, The Open Championship and Pebble Beach Golf Links. While most golf events in TUSL.com involve either a championship or a course, one event involves only one hole - the 16th hole at the Phoenix Open. And it's not a diabolical Pete Dye created island green like #17 at TPC Sawgrass, or the famous #18 at Pebble Beach with the waves of the Pacific guarding ...

My Brush With Sparky

Tom Walsh — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 00:00:00 UTC

Like many who grew up in Cincinnati during the Big Red Machine era, I am deeply saddened by the death of its pilot, Sparky Anderson. He went from "Sparky Who" to one of the most beloved sports figures in Cincinnati history in nine short years, due not only to his success as a manager, but the fact that he was a genuinely nice guy. On July 21, 1974, the Reds were returning from Chicago where they had defeated the Cubs 8-2 and cut the Dodgers' lead to 5 1/2 games in their final series before the All Star break. That afternoon, I went to the Cincinnati Airport with ...

Well, the good -- no great -- news is that the city of Manhattan stepped up and the tourney will go on.

It was the summer of 1970, and I was nine years old. The Big Red Machine had arrived on the scene, and Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Tony Perez and crew were tearing up the National League. The Reds had closed their old ballpark – Crosley Field – at the end of June and moved their show downtown to Riverfront Stadium, which would soon be hosting the MLB All Star Game. And I was pestering my Dad on a daily basis as to whether he had – or would be able to score – some tickets. At the ripe old age of nine, I had already begun my list of the world’s ...
