This time last year Corey Brewer went crazy on the playoff bound Rockets. Brewer averaged merely 12.3 PPG for the 13-14 season and came off point totals of 6, 12, 15, 14 and 9 in his last five before his 51 point explosion.
Here’s every field goal for Brewer’s game of a lifetime.
Once he got the chance, Jeff Burton showed he could be a top driver in NASCAR’s top series as a part of Roush Racing. This was the first of his 21 career wins. The 1997 season was the first of four top five in the points seasons for Burton as well.
As a bonus, this was the inaugural race at Texas Motor Speedway as well. Burton’s victory proved that Texas was a Roush stronghold, as they would win five of the first ten races here (Burton in ’97, Mark Martin in ’98, Matt Kenseth in ’02, Greg Biffle, ’05, Carl Edwards in ’05).
When it comes to baseball I’m a fan of pitchers, and no one really interested me more (and brought me back to baseball somewhat) than Yu Darvish. Darvish would strike out 14 and record 26 outs…before letting up a first pitch single on the 27th and last batter.
