Holyfield-Bowe Fight Disrupted by Fan Man, College Football's Debut, and Art Modell Slips Out on Cleveland - This DiSH for Nov. 6

In 1993, it was the REPEAT or REVENGE fight outside at Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace between Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe. The fight became known for 'Fan Man' crashing into the ringside ropes and lights.

In 1869, Rutgers and the school that would soon become known as Princeton played what is considered to be the first college football game.

In 1995, Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell announced that his franchise would be moving to Baltimore to start play the next season.

In 1974, Los Angeles reliever Mike Marshall became the first relief pitcher to win the Cy Young Award.

And in 2001, Fergus Muir used a putter off the tee at a 125 yard par 3 at St. Andrews' Eden Course. His shot went in to record the longest putt ever made.
