1. That 1976 fight at Yankee Stadium was incredible

I was among those who thought Norton won -- barely.

3. My brother

and a friend went down and saw it. They also thought it was close. I have a lot of photos that my brother took in Ali's training camp as he prepared for that fight.

5. The Yankees

are looking pretty good recently, haven't they? I know that there are a few sports fans across the country -- even one or two on this forum -- who pretend they dislike the Yankees. But deep down, I think everyone likes it when they are playing well.

8. See?

Even you. Perfect example. Anyone who works with kids in a human service mode is relating, consciously or unconsciously, to the positive vibrations of the Yankees. In fact, that is why The Champ was there last night. (Even people with minds on flying saucers love the Yankees, you know.)

7. Got to see the clip this morning.

Ali will always be The Champ, and not just for what he did in the the ring. Great to see him, even surrounded by Yankees.

9. Indeed. I consider his anti-war stance to be his most courageous achievement.
