Better Made

That’s a fantastic story, good luck to him.

Damn one inning??? I figured like over at least a few, but to put all 3 of those guys away in one is cold-blooded…We’ll be seeing him on TV again in due time.

Not just a great athlete, he changed an entire event for generations

I got to know Dick from helping at the Simplot games in Pocatello, Idaho for the past decade. He not only revolutionized the high jump, but dedicated his ENTIRE life to helping youth track athletes and anyone else who he could. My last interaction with him was singing Karaoke and having a beer at the bowling alley in Pocatello. Sad day

Fuck, I gotta see this dick if they’re writing articles about it.

Thanks that’s really cool

In my elementary school as well. Even though, as somewhat uncoordinated young children, a fair proportion of us proceeded to knock the horizontal bar off the stands with our shoulder and somehow land on it back first. Man that hurt…

My dad was a good friend of his (ran track together at Oregon State). He was such a great ambassador for the sport and one of the nicest guys I ever met.

He’s was still alive, I learned about him in gym class like 10 years ago

All that working out and still died, I guess he looks healthy in his casket. Im eating a butter stick dipped in sugar 😆

Great dick

I remember my coach talking about how he was a kid when the technique was invented. RIP to a legend.

Appreciate the context. Don’t follow baseball closely but can appreciate a kid stepping up on the biggest stage of their career and crushing.

Reminds me of McClung winning the dunk contest last month. Stepping up and smashing the big dogs.

I live in Bellevue and have had the pleasure of interacting with Dick from my years at the city of Bellevue. He was a really nice guy. Like you said, he was humble, intelligent, funny and always kind. Gold medal of a human. He'll be greatly missed in Blaine County.

I remember watching him in the Olympics. He was amazing

How do I read this correctly?

Good for him

It’s strange to see athletes like this being outlived by people like David Crosby, Keith Richards, Iggy Pop, etc….
