"Figgy was a good pitcher.
He wasn’t an overpowering guy.
He was always around the plate.
He wasn’t flashy, wasn’t dominant, wasn’t a strikeout guy.
He just won."
Ron Guidry.
"I didn’t know what the heck I was doing there, but I was there.
I learned that life, it’s beautiful to be alive.
I saw a lot of people dead there.
When I got out of there, I was happy I was out.
Happy I was alive."
At 17, Ed Figueroa signed as a free agent with the Mets in 1966.
He played for their affiliate the Winter Haven Mets, pitched and hurt his arm.
Then the Marines called, the Mets released him and Figueroa spent the next year in Vietnam.
Figueroa enlisted in the U.S. Marines and served a tour in Vietnam in 1969.

I asked Ian Eagle if he trained his son, NBC's Noah, on play-by-play, like a soccer dad or Little League parent.

Congrats Legend!
Legendary PxP broadcaster Marv Albert was recently inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame Class of ‘26 as part of a legendary group of inductees.
The virtual ceremony was on October 25th and here is Marv’s speech, which was quite touching, especially given his love and respect for the great Marty Glickman.
I’ve frequently spoken about learning from Marty while at @wfuvsports - but it was watching endless Knicks games as a kid, with Marv calling the action on Channel 9 (before we had cable) that piqued my interest in sportscasting (along with being a caller to One-on-One).
Congrats, Marv!!!

Saints kicker Tom Dempsey kicks what is then the longest field goal in NFL history — 63 yards — to shock the Lions as time expires at a delirious Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, 19-17.
Don Criqui calls it for CBS, Al Wester for WWL.
Dempsey — who was born without toes on his right foot and without four fingers on his right hand — tops the NFL's previous record of 56 yards set by the Baltimore Colts' Bert Rechichar in 1953.
