A Bomb in the Bronx, Slow Sid scored the game winner, and T.O.'s Sharpie Celebration - This DiSH for Oct. 14

In 1976, New York Yankee Chris Chambliss hit a walk-off home run to win the ALCS. He never touched the plate though. The homer still counted.

In 1992, Atlanta Brave Francisco Cabrera lined one into left to score two runs including the less-than-fleet of foot Sid Bream.

In 1985, St. Louis Cardinal Ozzie Smith hit an improbable walk-off homer to beat the LA Dodgers.

In 1964, American Billy Mills became the first American runner to win the 10,000 meter in the Olympics. And he did it in borrowed shoes.

In 2002, San Francisco 49er Terrell Owens caught his second TD of the game and then celebrated by pulling a Sharpie marker from his sock, autographed the ball and handed it to a fan.
