Cardinals Flyin’ High

To say the Louisville Cardinals Basketball team is good is a terrifying understatement. Louisville has been to the NCAA Tournament an astounding 30 times out of the last 37 years. They’ve been to 26 Sweet Sixteens and 10 Final Fours. They are also tied with legendary basketball powerhouses Indiana, Duke and Kansas with three National Basketball Championships apiece.

The numbers are surely astounding. Louisville is 5th in all-time NCAA Tournament appearances with 39. Their 69 NCAA Tournament wins puts them in sixth-place nationally. And, their 10 Final Fours put them at 5th-most of all college basketball teams. Let’s not forget to mention, Louisville is your 2013 College Basketball Champions.

The box score for the April 15, 1947 matchup between the Boston Braves and the Brooklyn Dodgers reads like almost any other. It was opening day for Major League Baseball, and 26,623 people were in attendance at Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field to watch the Dodgers defeat the visiting Braves 5-3. Nothing too much out of the ordinary took place in the game except for the name on Brooklyn’s lineup for first baseman: Jackie Robinson. Up until 1947, baseball had always been a segregated game. Yet, on that day in April, Jackie Robinson broke the “color line” and made his Major League Basbeall debut. On April 15, we celebrate this occasion with every baseball fan and Jackie Robinson Day. All around ballparks in this great nation, people show their respect for the event by wearing Jackie Robinson Jerseys and T-Shirts as well as Brooklyn Dodgers Gear and Hats.

Jackie Robinson was an exceptional baseball player. In fact, he attained Rookie of the Year honors in 1947 as the best first-year player in all of Major League Baseball. In his 10 seasons with the Dodgers (1947-’56), Robinson would appear in six World Series, and was a six-time All-Star from 1949-’54. He won a World Series Championship with the Dodgers in 1955, a year before his last major league appearance. Over his baseball career, he won batting titles, stolen base titles and was an inspiration to millions. In 1962, we became not just a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but the first-ever African American in baseball’s Hall of Fame. Throughout his career with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Jackie Robinson wore the #42, and in 1997, that number became the first-ever number permanently retired by Major League Baseball. Celebrate rich baseball history with Fanatics and a Jackie Robinson Jersey or Brooklyn Dodgers Hat from our illustrious collection.

An historic ‘first’

A lot has changed since 1991. There are less and less firsts each day. Yet, for that small university created little more than 20 years ago, an historic first has occurred: the first-ever 15th-seeded team to enter the Sweet 16 of the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament. With their bold and fearless playing style, dubbed “Dunk City,” the FGCU Eagles have made history as this year’s Cinderella team of the tournament. Fanatics celebrates all FGCU Eagles and college basketball fans with our collection of FGCU Apparel.

Cinderella at the Big Dance

Currently, there are less than 13,000 students in attendance at Florida Gulf Coast University. Yet, you can bet there’ll be 26,000 eyeballs glued to televisions when FGCU faces the Florida Gators this week. Even if the Eagles don’t get the better of their upstate rivals and advance to the Elite Eight, they’ve done enough this year to bring the nation’s collective eyes to their South Florida school. Every college basketball fan from Tucson to Tampa is talking about a team that just a few years ago, practiced in high school gyms and had an athletic department that was little more than a slew of trailers beside a swamp. They’re talking about a team whose entertaining Globetrotter-esque style of play took down a college basketball authority and 2nd-ranked Georgetown 78-68. Most of all, they’re talking “Dunk City, USA.” Fanatics is here to welcome this year’s Cinderella team to the Sweet Sixteen with FGCU Dunk City T-Shirts for fans and alumni everywhere.

Diamond in the rough

These days, as you stroll past the restored wetlands where Florida Gulf Coast University sits, you’ll notice a lot of changes. Enrollment is booming. Academic buildings are being constructed, facilities expanded, and more degree programs are being added. What was once a hidden gem in the south of the Sunshine State is beaming like a diamond on the ring finger of an Eagles team that refuses to quit. Grab a piece of history with Fanatics and our FGCU Gear and Dunk City Apparel, and show the world you believe fairy tales still do come true.

Small Market no more

Always considered a “small market” area, Jacksonville nearly stunned the sports world when they were awarded an NFL franchise in November 1993. Many thought the stadium in Jacksonville was outdated, and the fan base too weak to support a professional football team, but the league disagreed and NFL owners gave Jacksonville the NFL’s 30th franchise. Another stunner came just three years later, when the Jaguars, playing in only their second NFL season, clinched the fifth-seed in the AFC playoffs. Many still speak today of the upset victory of the ’96 Jags over the heavily favored Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional playoffs. While the Jags would eventually fall to New England in the 1996 AFC Championship game, the sudden success they garnered is still a source of great pride in and around Jacksonville. Show off your Jags pride with the New Jaguars Logo Hat or T-Shirt, and let everyone know your Jags fandom never fades!

A special place in time

There have been many great players, games and story lines throughout the history of the Jacksonville Jaguars. From Jimmy Smith to Justin Blackmon. From Fred Taylor to Maurice Jones-Drew. The list of amazing Jags players, past and present is long and varied. There have been many ups and downs through the 18 years of the team, but one things for sure – the city of Jacksonville, Florida has always stood behind this team and will continue to today, tomorrow and many, many years from now. The Jaguars are a special part of Jacksonville’s history and you can celebrate their latest addition to it with the New Jaguars Logo T-Shirts and Hats from Fanatics. Do your city, team and yourself proud with New Jaguars Logo Gear today.

For the first time in school history, Gonzaga Basketball is the #1-ranked team in the nation. To celebrate this historic occasion, Fanatics brings you the best collection of Gonzaga Basketball Gear, as well as a brief history lesson on some lesser known Gonzaga University facts. Go Bulldogs!

5 Things you may not know about the #1 Gonzaga Bulldogs

1) From the 1910s to the 1920s, Gonzaga University’s Sports teams actually went by the name “the Fighting Irish” like Notre Dame. Yet, after a 1921 football game in which the team was described as playing like “bulldogs,” a new mascot was born.

2) American singer and actor Bing Crosby attended Gonzaga University and was an assistant football coach there. In fact, Crosby credited much of his success in the entertainment industry to what he learned at Gonzaga.

3) NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton played his senior year at Gonzaga University from 1983-’84. In that year, Stockton was named the league’s most valuable player and led the West Coast Athletic Conference in assists, steals and scoring average.

4) Before every Gonzaga home game, team chaplain Fr. Craig Hightower, S.J blesses all four sides of the McCarthey Athletic Center exactly 26 minutes before tip-off.

5) After every Gonzaga home game, Baseball coach and alumnus Steve Hertz hands out a Gonzaga Baseball hat to whichever player made a key play or set of plays during the game.
