Are there any "one phrase" events in Buffalo sports


Recommended Posts

I was thinking; we have "wide right" "music city miracle" "no goal", a bunch of negative sports catch phrases. Other franchises have "the drive" "immaculate reception" etc. a bunch of positive sports phrases. Are there any tag lines in Buffalo sports that are positive events? I can't think of one. Anyone have one?

"Its Fandamonium"

 

" these guys are good, scary good"

 

And a whole bunch of other RJ quotes

Those are good quotes but not quite descriptors of events like "Miracle on ice", "the shot" "the catch" "the shot heard round the world" etc...

Shot heard around the world? I thought that was Mike Stratton on Keith Lincoln.

Old timers like me know that, but it's actually even older -Bobby Thompson's WS homer in '56, IIRC

Thought that was Bobby Thomson to win the NL pennant in '51?

 

Maybe Stratton's was the Hit heard 'round the world...

As usual, you're right.

 

As for Stratton, on a calm summer night, you can still hear the echo off Best Street. :blink:
