Summary

In 1977, Atlanta Braves owner Ted Turner managed his team for a game before being told that was illegal. In 1919, the New York Yankees and the Washington Senators played to a scoreless tie. In 1980, Philadelphia's Julius Erving defied gravity in one of the most iconic moves in NBA history.
