There was never an *Asterisk, Greg LeMond on top of the World, and NASCAR's First Tire Disaster - This DiSH for Sept. 4

In 1991, the 'asterisk' (that never really existed) was removed from Roger Maris' record for home runs in a single season. There was a notation but never an asterisk.

In 1983, Greg LeMond became the first American to win the World Championships.

In 1993, New York Yankee pitcher Jim Abbott pitched a no-hitter. Abbott was born with only one hand.

In 1950, NASCAR raced 500 miles for the first time. It was a debacle with pit crews resorting to stealing tires off cars in the parking lot.
