A Hall of Fame career derailed, Dennis Bergkamp's Hat Trick Magic, and Rare Feat in a Major League Baseball game - This DiSH for Aug. 27

In 1972, Baltimore Colt All-Pro defensive end Bubba Smith tore up his knee when he got caught up with the first down chains. He missed the entire year and he was never the same.

In 1997, Arsenal's Dennis Bergkamp scored an exceptional hat trick against Leicester.

In 1985, top seed and World Number one John McEnroe was nearly bounced in the first round of the US Open by Shlomo Glickstein.

In 1977, Texas Ranger players Toby Harrah and Bump Wills hit back-to-back inside the park home runs. It's the only time in MLB history.
