Good Deeds

1985: The Sidekicks helped sponsor Operation Child Find, a local effort to provide free photographs and fingerprints of children for parents to use should their children be kidnapped or lost. KLUV-FM (98.7) radio started the program in 1984, and the Sidekicks promotional efforts made the program an even bigger success.

Future Opponents

1987: The New York Express, founded as an exhibition team the winter previous, were granted membership into the MISL on this date.

Fan (non)Appreciation

1987: Late in the third quarter, a ball that went over the glass near the Sidekicks goal was thrown back in by a fan. Not unusual, except the guy threw a fastball that missed Blast forward Andy Chapman's head by inches. Chapman didn't even get the pleasure of having the fan around when his goal 1:54 into overtime lifted Baltimore to a 3-2 victory over the Sidekicks.
- The fan was ejected.

Playoff Games

1987: Eastern Division Semifinals Game 3: Baltimore Blast 3 at Sidekicks 2 (OT)
- Baltimore leads the Best of 5 series 2 games to 1

"Other Duties As Required"

1990: Equipment Manager Chris Agnes was drafted into play goalkeeper during practice on this date due to the Sidekicks having 6 of the 18 players injured.
