Helmet of the Day: the most successful of the CFL's attempt to break into the US market. Advancing to the Grey Cup Final in both of their seasons, winning it in 1995. Despite that, with the looming move of the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore, team owner
Jim Speros, decided to fold the Baltimore franchise and resurrect the Montreal Alouettes. Baltimore is one of three Grey Cup winners to have folded.

Rest in peace to Baltimore Colts legend Raymond Berry, the Hall of Fame wide receiver whose precise route running and sure hands helped define excellence in professional football. During his legendary career with the Baltimore Colts, Berry earned six Pro Bowl selections, won two NFL championships, and became one of the game's best wideouts. His impact on football continued as a successful coach for the New England Patriots and mentor. We honor his remarkable legacy and the lasting mark he left on the sport.

Raymond Berry shared this quote with us here at the museum once: "In 1994, I was in Yankee Stadium and had the pleasure of interviewing Yankees PA announcer Bob Sheppard. I asked Bob if he had been the PA announcer for the Colts-Giants 1958 Championship Game, and if so, what he remembered most about it. He said, unfortunately, what he remembered was saying, 'Unitas to Berry, Unitas to Berry, Unitas to Berry.'

He was referring to the drive at the end of regulation that led to the Colts kicking a game-tying field goal with seconds remaining to force the NFL's first overtime game. On that drive, Unitas targeted Berry three consecutive times for 62 yards to spearhead the attack. That drive effectively launched what we now know as the two-minute drill."

In Babe Ruth's final season in the MLB
playing for the Braves, he did not light up the stat
sheet. However, in one of his last game, a glimpse of
the legend that had changed the face of baseball
forever shone through one last time. Babe hit 3 home
runs in a game against the Pirates, the last of which
Arky Vaughn said "I have never seen three home runs
hit harder than the Babe hit them that day, especially
the last one. I’m here to tell you it was the longest hit
ever made in Pittsburgh. That’s a day I’ll never forget."

When compared to Babe Ruth once, Reggie Jackson
denied the comparison saying “There will never be
another Babe Ruth. He was the greatest home run
hitter who ever lived.” (baseballhall.org) This game was
not even close to the highlight of his career, but to see
the Sultan of Swat go out in style like that was sure to
have pleased fans.
