The best stories are sometimes the most unbelievable. I knew about the first stab at 1,000 yards but I didn't realize what happened in the years to come. Great read.

Great read. I had no idea that he missed the mark 2 years in a row. Pretty cool of his coaches to feed him the ball, though.

Same here -- I had read this story, but didn't know he had a near-miss the following season.
