After attending the University of California at Berkeley, the following four quarterbacks started Super Bowls: Joe Kapp, Craig Morton, Vince Ferragamo, and Aaron Rodgers. As a matter of fact, that is a record for the most quarterbacks from one college to start a Super Bowl.
My sixth-seventh video features Joe Kapp. Thanks to Kevin Cooper for filming the poem.
My sixty-ninth video features Oakland’s Raymond Chester! He was a terrific tight end. Thanks to Christian Lyness for filming the poem.
My seventy-fourth video features Star Trek’s Denise Crosby. In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Crosby’s character was Lieutenant Tasha Yar. Thanks to Aaron Ohlen for filming the question.
In Super Bowl XI, Oakland’s Willie Brown earned a touchdown due to his 75-yard interception return! Brown was an amazing cornerback, so he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Therefore, my seventy-fifth video features him. Thanks to Amber Goodwin for filming the question.
My seventy-ninth video features Oakland’s Tony La Russa. As a matter of the fact, the Athletics clinched the AL Western Division on Sunday! Thanks to Daniel Gonzalez for filming the poem.
San Francisco’s Tim Flannery and the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir are great guitarists! For my eighty-third video, they performed “Catfish John.” Bob McDill and Allen Reynolds wrote this hit song, which was released by Johnny Russell in 1972.
Kevin Johnson was an amazing basketball player for the Cal Bears and Phoenix Suns. Currently, he is Sacramento’s mayor. As a matter of fact, due to his extraordinary efforts, the Kings didn’t move to Seattle, so their basketball team will remain in Sacramento! Thus, my eighty-ninth video features part of Johnson’s induction speech into the Sacramento Sports Hall of Fame.
In Game Five of the 2002 World Series, which I attended, “Dusty” Baker’s son, Darren, was San Francisco’s batboy. In the seventh inning, Darren was almost run over at home plate. Fortunately, the Giants’ J.T. Snow picked Darren up, so he was safe. Since Darren was only three years old, Major League Baseball then required batboys to be at least fourteen years old. Thus, the “Darren Baker Rule” was established. So, my ninetieth video features Darren and “Dusty” Baker.
On January 9, 1977, Super Bowl XI occurred in Pasadena, California. In that contest, the Oakland Raiders defeated the Minnesoata Vikings. Due to Fred Biletnikoff’s four receptions for 79 yards, he earned the MVP Award. In addition, Oakland’s starting strong safety was George Atkinson. So, my ninety-sixth video features them. Thanks to Matt Tadevich for filming the question.
Not only was “Lefty” O’Doul from San Francisco, but also he was a fantastic Phillie! So, for my 102nd video, I read a poem about Lefty to his cousin, Tom. Thanks to John Phillips for filming the poem.
