~ ThisDayInSports

In 1993, Monica Seles was attacked by a knife-wielding assailant during a tennis match in Germany. 

In 1971, the Milwaukee Bucks won their first NBA title. 

In 1988, a fight between NY Knicks’ Larry Johnson and Miami’s Alonzo Mourning led to a hilarious moment when Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy clung to Mourning’s leg to keep the two apart. 

In 1922, Chicago White Sox rookie pitcher Charlie Robertson pitched a perfect game.

And in 1975, Muhammad Ali defended his heavyweight title against little known Jimmy Young  but many questioned the judges unanimous decision.
