:26:02
''Maury Wills on the way
to break Ty Cobb's record.''
:26:07
I saw Cobb.
:26:09
My dad saw Babe Ruth.
He saw him point for the home run.
:26:13
Against the Cubs.
He told me all about it.
:26:16
He tell you of Nagurski's
comeback game?
:26:21
I know he saw it, though.
Were you there?
:26:25
-Yeah.
-You and Dad were at the same place.
:26:30
You know about Nagurski?
:26:33
He was my dad's hero, that's all.
:26:36
The greatest football player ever.
He came to Chicago...
:26:40
...played eight years
to make the Bears champions.
:26:43
Then he retired.
When he was old, six years retired...
:26:47
...the Bears brought him back.
:26:50
Last game of the season,
they played...
:26:53
...the Cardinals, sworn enemies.
:26:57
The Bears had to beat
the Cardinals to win.
:27:00
Nagurski wasn't supposed to play.
Third-string fullback.
:27:07
In the first half
the starter went down.
:27:10
-The second half there was a pileup.
-Oh, no.
:27:13
If your dad was here
he'd say he was frightened.
:27:17
-He was just so scared.
-But why? Nagurski was in the game.
:27:22
I was scared too. We all were.
:27:25
We wanted a miracle, you see, Bobby.
:27:29
We wanted him the way he was,
the old Nagurski.
:27:33
We wanted him the way he was
in the old days.
:27:37
Did he do good?
I don't wanna hear this if he didn't.
:27:44
The quarterback gave him the ball...
:27:47
...and Nagurski ran slowly
up to the line...
:27:51
...and the Cardinals crushed him.
:27:53
But somehow...
:27:57
...somehow, he gained a few yards.
