EPISODE SUMMARY
Believe it or not, the Philadelphia Phillies franchise dates back to 1883, when Chester A. Arthur was President of the United States. The Phillies were originally known as the Philadelphia Quakers, but they were renamed the Phillies in 1890. Despite some outstanding seasons, the Phillies did not achieve first place until 1915, when they lost to the Red Sox in the World Series, four games to one.
In 1932, Phillies outfielder Chuck Klein won the NL MVP award, and the following year, he claimed the elusive Triple Crown. Despite having some good players on the team, the Phillies wouldnât win the NL Pennant again until 1950, with pitcher Jim Konstanty winning the NL MVP that same year. However, the Phillies had the misfortune of facing the powerhouse New York Yankees in the World Series and lost four games to zero.
From 1951 to 1975, the Phillies experienced just nine winning seasons and no pennants. One of the few highlights was when pitcher Steve Carlton won the Cy Young Award in 1972. However, that would all change in 1976.

EPISODE SUMMARY
I started Olympic Weightlifting in 1981, and up to that point, I didnât know much about weightlifting history or the athletes that made the sport great. I liked watching it when it was televised, which wasnât too often. Other than seeing weightlifting in the Olympics every four years, the only other times it was televised was on Wide World of Sports. Even then, they mainly focused on the Super Heavyweights. So, the only weightlifter I knew much about was the Soviet strongman Vasily Alexeyev, the first man to clean & jerk 500 lbs. To this day, he remains the only weightlifter to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated (April 14, 1975)......

EPISODE SUMMARY
From 1933 (their first season in the NFL) through 1971, the Pittsburgh Steelers had only eight winning seasons and had never played in the Championship game.
From 1964 to 1968, the team had a dismal record of 18â49â3. Changes were needed. In 1969, the Steelers replaced Head Coach Bill Austin with Chuck Noll, an assistant coach with the Chargers and Colts from 1960 through 1968.
The Steelers made some good draft selections in 1969. Offensively, they chose quarterback Terry Hanratty and tackle John Kolb. Defensively, they chose defensive end LC Greenwood and defensive tackle Joe Greene, who won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Despite these changes and apparent improvements, the team got worse, finishing the season with one win and thirteen losses.....
