" Roughly a month after the Los Angeles Dodgers finished a scintillating seven-game World Series triumph over the Toronto Blue Jays, the Major League Baseball Players Association gathered in Arizona this week to discuss the future of the game and look ahead to a possible lockout next December.

He's officially known as the first Heisman Memorial Trophy recipient, although the honor wasn't called that until a year later. The trophy was named for club athletic director John W. Heisman after he died in 1936. Berwanger traveled to New York to accept "a special trophy at a luncheon," the Tribune reported.

So much for Chicago's Big Ten team: 75 years ago,…...
