Bears, Celtics, And Mets Reign As World Sports Champions The biggest story of the 1986 sports world was the New York Mets' dominance of major league baseball. The Mets slipped by the Boston Red Sox in a dra- matic seventh game finale. The Bears from Chicago dominated the pro football scene led by 300 plus pound William “The Refridgerator” Perry. In the college ranks, the University of Miami, led by Heisman Trophy winner Vinny Testa- verde, was upset in the Fiesta bowl by Penn State University with their flashy uni- forms for the number one ranking. Tennis great Martina Navratalova held her reign at Wimbledon, while in the men’s division, Boris Becker won his sec- ond straight singles title at the tender age of 18. Two tragic deaths rocked to world of Going, Going, Gone! Lenny Dykstra slugs the Mets into a World Series championship. sport. Boston Celtic first round pick, Len Bias died in his dorm from a cocaine over- dose, as did pro football’s Don Rogers of the Cleveland Browns. The deaths direct- ly influenced high level drug testing in both pro and college atheletic events. Two oldies, in terms of age, but young at heart, were victors of their professions’ top honors. Jack Nickalaus won his sixth Master’s golf tournament at age 46, while Willie Shoemaker rode Ferdinand to the finish line for his fourth victory at the Ken- tucky Derby at age 56. The Boston Celtics captured the NBA championship with a decisive victory over the Houston Rockets. In college basket- ball.

American bike racer, Greg Lemond, pedaled his way to the finish line of the Tour de France, the first American ever to accomplish this feat. Mike Tyson was the youngest boxing champion in the history of the sport, at age 22, while in an equally brutal sport, the Montreal Canadians outskated the Calgary Flames to capture the heralded Stanley Cup of hockey. At the Brickyard, Bobby Rahal cruised to victory at the prestigious Indianapolis 500, for his first trip to the victory lane. The first Goodwill Games were held in Moscow to a mediocre sized crowd with Sergei Bubka pole vaulting 19’ 8 3 4”, and the U.S. men’s and women’s basket- ball teams winning championships, while Evely Ashford came back from a preg- nancy leave to sprint to victory in the 100 meters.
