A Nick Charles Tribute, Featuring The Greatest Play You've Never Seen
While trolling YouTube for video of Nick Charles, who passed away over the weekend, I stumbled across this, uploaded by Mike Lortz after being found in a pile of VHS tapes: a CNN year-end best-of countdown. His interplay with Fred Hickman here is typically good-natured, and it wasn't an act: they genuinely liked each other. Charles was a good guy, who liked sports, and we're still thanking him today for introducing us to 1993's best play. The home run off of Canseco's head only gets No. 2 on the countdown, so you know it's good.
Fast-forward to the 3:30 mark of the video. We missed this one, in the pre-YouTube era. But if a high school team ever pulled the old bathroom switcheroo today, every sports writer and sports fan in America's heads would explode simultaneously.
