Sports roundups span historic milestones, recent results

Date-specific sports retrospectives highlight milestones across baseball, football, basketball, boxing, tennis and Formula 1. Their historical moments include the approval of overhand pitching, Roberto Clemente’s selection by Pittsburgh, Muhammad Ali’s title defense, Mike Tyson becoming the youngest heavyweight champion, and Wayne Gretzky’s 500th NHL goal. Other entries recall Babe Ruth’s home-run records, Don Budge’s calendar-year tennis Grand Slam, the Dodgers’ final game at Ebbets Field, and notable Formula 1 races, a title decision and driver birthdays. The local team reports and Creighton volleyball preseason coverage concern current competition rather than these historical retrospectives and are not included.
