It was on this day (February 22) in 1980 that the world watched one of the greatest upsets in sports: The United States defeated the heavily-favored USSR in hockey in the Winter Olympic games.

It was also the greatest call in American sports history, hands down.

Al Michaels captured the moment perfectly: As the seconds tick down he suddenly says: “Do you believe in miracles? YES!”

That said it all.
