The marching band took the field in celebration, but Garner was not ruled down. After two more Cal laterals, Kevin Moen weaved through the band to make it into the end zone, trouncing a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.britannica.com/art/trombone" class="md-crosslink " data-show-preview="true">trombone</a> player in the process in what became known as “The Play.”</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: Al Michaels’s famous “Do you believe in miracles?” call came during what underdog’s win?</dt> <dd>Answer: Before 1980 the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Soviet-Union" class="md-crosslink " data-show-preview="true">U.S.S.R.</a> men’s hockey team had won gold in the previous four <a target="_blank" href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/Olympic-Games" class="md-crosslink " data-show-preview="true">Olympics</a>.

That year, during game four, tavern owner Billy Sianis bought two tickets to the game and used the second for his billy goat, Murphy. Sianis was asked to leave because of the goat’s smell. When the Cubs lost the series, Sianis sent a telegraph to team owner P.K.

He definitely extended his fingers to the outfield before hitting one out of the park. Some sources at the ballpark that day said Ruth was simply indicating how many strikes he had in the count. Others, including teammate <a target="_blank" href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Lou-Gehrig" class="md-crosslink " data-show-preview="true">Lou Gehrig</a>, backed the legendary tale of the Great Bambino calling his shot.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: In 2017 Serena Williams showed remarkable perseverance by winning a Grand Slam title while she what?</dt> <dd>Answer: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Serena-Williams" class="md-crosslink " data-show-preview="true">Serena Williams</a> won the 2017 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/Australian-Open" class="md-crosslink " data-show-preview="true">Australian Open</a> when she was eight weeks <a target="_blank" href="https://www.britannica.com/science/pregnancy" class="md-crosslink " data-show-preview="true">pregnant</a>.
