Yeah thanks sharing!

McClung wasn’t some unknown dunker. He was picked specifically for this competition because of that known skill he has. And there weren’t any big dogs in the dunk contest.

The kid that struck out those 3 Allstars wasn’t even signed by a team that has to fill a roster for a low A, high A, Double A and Triple A team.

This is the first time I’ve seen Poky referenced on Reddit lol. I worked for the newspaper there, covered the Simplot Games and interviewed Dick a handful of times. Great guy.

Imagine inventing a new way of jumping after these millions of years.

I read about this dude during my ACT for college

This is sad. High jump was my favorite event growing up and the Fosbury Flop was revolutionary for the event. It's an awesome story.

Look at that dude, flipping and flopping all over the place up there…

I'd assume the Detroit Tigers

I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times at track meets. I will echo what everyone else has said about his humility and kindness.

He rather talked about the outdoors or engineering or politics before track, but he was quick to offer tips to the jumpers if he saw them struggling or needing a nudge.

I also found out that his favorite snow cone flavor was peach with a hint of tiger's blood on top.

Thank you for this. As a youth in the 70s, Wide World of Sports and the Olympics were always watched. I remember watching the Foz win. AND I remember his burger commercials where her turned it upside down. Thank you for sharing an idea of this man’s life. It gives me hope that we’ll be ok

That guy was a real flop.

Thx. Many people appreciate having acronyms and abbreviations spelled out.

Dianobol, the first oral anabolic steroid was invented in 1955 by the Americans, and was closely followed by the Russians with Anadrol. This was one of the biggest reasons why so many records were smashed around this era.

dbol?

Dick Fosbury creator of the Fosbury flop, a move that both revolutionized the high jump and also missed one of the greatest naming opportunities of all time

I can see why they chose Fosbury flop instead of his first name

The OG pro-gamer move. 🫡
