When Will History Show up

    In many sporting events it is obvisious right from the start that history is being made, sometimes history takes it time showing up. It sometimes shows up right at the end of a contest. For the fans at the McNichols Arena in Denver, Colorado, on January 13, 1997 they had no idea if history would visit them at all. A fairly routine Basketball game between the Denver Nuggets and the Charlotte Hornets seemed like any other game when regulation play ended with the two teams tied at 100.  Tony Smith of the Nuggets made the first basket in the overtime period. A 1:29 later, the Hornets celebrated a 102-100 win over the Nuggets, as Smiths' basket was the only points scored during the overtime period. A new record was set for fewest points by both clubs in an overtime period. Although not impossible to break, this record will be hard to surpass. Does anyone know of a game where is record was broken on the professional level?
   Tomorrow we will go swimming down under.
