Saturday Sports: Looking back at the year's greatest hits
NPRSaturday Sports: Looking back at the year's greatest hits NPR's Scott Simon and Howard Bryant of Meadowlark Media recap the year in sports: the ascendance of women's basketball, the Paris Olympics, and the loss of some baseball legends. I mean, certainly what you've seen this year and over the last few years, it's not just Caitlin Clark, it's also the activism from the female players getting March Madness as part of the women's game as well in college. This was really one of the - probably the first year where sports in general sort of felt like we had turned a corner, but nothing like Steph Curry in the final minutes of the gold medal game against France. I mean, it - every year is difficult, and you can have the same conversation every year because time is passing, but Willie Mays, Luis Tiant, Fernando Valenzuela, Orlando Cepeda, Pete Rose and, of course, Rickey Henderson and Whitey Herzog and Ken Holtzman and the fan favorite in Cleveland, Rocky Colavito, just a devastating year for baseball fans, and especially Mays, Rose, Rickey, Cepeda, Fernando.
