## Resource

In 1983, the New York Islanders won their fourth straight Stanley Cup, becoming the only US based NHL team to win four in a row. In 1979, the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs combined for 45 runs in an extra inning game. In 1987, Dale Earnhardt pulled off 'The Pass in the Grass' in the Winston All-Star Race. It wasn't a pass though, he maintained control of his car and the lead of the race despite driving through the front-stretch grass.
