    Remember the movie Bull Durham? Yep, that team that Kevin Costner was playing for was the Durham Bulls of little old Durham, North Carolina. Check out a minor league game for a great family outing.

    Duke Sports Hall of Fame

  • Although I very dearly love Duke University and love to sing her praises to anyone who will listen to, or read, it, I am becoming very discouraged by working on tips or pages up to an hour only to have my ISPs (and I have used several) or the VT server delete or refuse my input. If anyone else has that problem, please let me know. I worked over an hour on this one.
    In the spring of 1975, not too long after my graduation from Duke, I was privileged to attend the initial induction dinner for the Duke Sports Hall of Fame. After that ceremony, the Hall of Fame consisted of six photographs and a painted Hall of Fame Banner. With subsequent inductions and expansion, the Hall now has about 120 members and is housed in a 10,000 sq ft facility within the Schwartz-Butters Complex which is immediately adjacent to the Cameron Indoor Stadium. This relatively new facility contains a theater, audio and video clips, and other exhibits showcasing the people and events who have brought athletic fame to the University in addition to photos of each of the inductees.
    Open Monday-Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM.

    Durham Bulls

  • Home of the Durham Bulls baseball park and team. A fun experience growing up, I have fond memories of the old and new parks. I'm not even really a baseball or sports fan per se, but still there's nothing like the smell of grass in the summer time, someone in the crowd singin' "heeeeeey, batta batta batta swiiiiiiing", and of course the large bull whose eyes flash red and who spurts smoke out of his nose whenever the home team scores a home run.

    City of Champions?

  • New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Durham. Where can we go to see top quality athletic events, Alex? Durham is not world renowned for its athletic teams but perhaps it should be. Duke and North Carolina Central Universities have won a total of six national collegiate basketball and football championships in the past 20 years, four in basketball and two in football. Of the Duke men's and women's lacrosse teams and women's field hockey team, at least one of them has played in the Final Four each of the past five seasons. The women's golf team and men's soccer teams have also won national championships and the women are perennial conference champions. North Carolina Central has a legendary track and field program and Dr. Leroy Walker, their track coach for about 40 years, was one of the most respected in the world.
