The Monday Night Miracle, Blue Jays win World Series, and 9 OTs - This DiSH for Oct. 23

In 2000, the New York Jets pulled off the improbable 'Monday Night Miracle' win over the Miami Dolphins.

In 1993, Toronto's Joe Carter hit the game winner in game 6 of the World Series to beat the Philadelphia Phillies. It's only the second time the series ended on a walk-off home run.

In 2021, Penn State and Illinois played 9 OTs before a winner could be decided in the longest college football game ever played.

In 1971, the Oklahoma Sooners rolled up a then record 711 yards rushing against Kansas State in route to a 75-28 win.

And in 1886, it was the '$15,000 slide' though it wasn't a slide and it wasn't quite worth $15,000.
