They Said
It
"That
was one of the 10 greatest sporting events in Dallas history, period."
--Brad Sham,
then-sports talkshow host for KRLD radio on Game 6 of the MISL Championship
Series played on this date.
Note:
In a telephone conversation in 2001, Mr. Sham said that while that Game 6
may not still be in the Top 10 Dallas sporting events today, because of
the Super Bowls, Stanley Cup and American League playoff games played
since that date, but that match "would remain in the Top 20."
