Sports Highlights of the 1980s

In the 1980 Winter Olympics, the U.S. hockey team, mostly amateurs, stunned the dominant Soviet Union 4-3 in the “Miracle on Ice.” Trailing 3-2, Mark Johnson tied it, and Mike Eruzione scored the winning goal. Jim Craig’s saves sealed the upset. Al Michaels’ call, “Do you believe in miracles? YES!” echoed. In 1999, Sports Illustrated named it the century’s top sports moment. | Historyinmemes
