On this day in...


On this day in...
1817 – The New York Stock Exchange is founded.
1936 – Daytona Beach Road Course holds their first oval stock car race.
1957 – Egypt re-opens the Suez Canal after the Suez Crisis.
1979 – Philips demonstrates the Compact Disc publicly for the first time.
1983 – President Ronald Reagan calls the Soviet Union an "evil empire".
1999 – The Supreme Court of the United States upholds the murder convictions of Timothy McVeigh for the Oklahoma City bombing.

Births
1953 – Jim Rice, American baseball player
1958 – Gary Numan, British singer
1976 – Freddie Prinze Jr., American actor
1976 – Hines Ward, American football player
1977 – James Van Der Beek, American actor
1984 – Sasha Vujacic, Slovenian basketball player
1988 – Armanti Edwards, American college football player

Not a bad list of birthdays with a couple teen idols, a Laker swingman, a half Asian wide receiver and an old baseball player. But I figured I'd go with former Appalchian State QB Armanti Edwards who engineered quite possibly the best upset in sports history in 2007 against Michigan. Here's a full recap of the last two drives below or the magical final play below that.
