That's Brooks Robinson celebrating the 4 game sweep of the LA Dodgers by the Baltimore Orioles in 1966. It was a big surprise at the time.

Right on! I had a 34" vertical leap & ran a 4.72 40 (at 6'8) in high school & went on to play D-1 college football (were I bulked up & my #'s fell off a tad). My good (white) buddy won state in high jump & went on to play college hoops & high jump in college. Another (white) fellow I played hoops with in HS (about 6'3) had a 38" vertical & received a full-ride to play in college. As a matter of fact, there was only 1 black on our team & about 7 of us (white boys) could dunk (5 of us easily) and this was "way back" in the 1980s. So don't go believing that BS myth about white boys not being able to jump!!!
