Most of us have seen a lotta sport's events that we will never forget...Moments that giveya chill-bumps...or even in one great athlete's case...tears..

      One of my favorite moments in time was back in '73 when Secretariat won horse-racing's 3rd-leg of the Triple Crown at Belmont by 31 lengths...I still get chill-bumps when I see that scene in my mind and when it was over all you could do is shake your head and think...

......."That...is one bad-#### horse..."

     It had been 25 years at the time, since The Triple Crown had been won, so this was special....I'll tellya how special it was to one man...

     Golfer Jack Nicklaus told a story once 'bout how he was watching the race on TV, and as Secretariat began to widen the gap to 10-20-25-30 lengths, he found himself crying.  After the tears subsided, he couldn't understand why those tears happened.  Men like Nicklaus don't shed tears easily...

     He goes on to tell an interviewer that after a few days, he ran across a sports the####/psychologist he knew and asked him about the moment of tears...I don't remember the guy's name off-hand, and that's "my bad", cuz what he said was genius:

"....Well, Jack....What made you so emotional was...You just witnessed an athlete reach ...........perfection..."

     It was only then that Jack finally understood...

Note: Secretariat was on the cover of Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated the same week...
