  • Four of the Top Players in School History Are Depicted Here Including Charles Smith, Don Hennon, Billy Knight and Jerome Lane
    Four of the top players in school history are depicted here including Charles Smith, Don Hennon, Billy Knight and Jerome Lane. Smith, Hennon and Knight are the three Pitt players to have their jerseys retired. All three have found success beyond basketball as Hennon became a medical doctor, Knight serves as General Manager for the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and Smith, following a productive NBA career, is a successful businessman and chairman of the Charles D. Smith Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing a positive alternative for today’s youth. An NBA veteran, Lane is shown here throwing down his backboard shattering dunk against Providence on Jan. 25, 1988. “Send it in Jerome!” proclaimed ESPN broadcaster Bill Raftery minutes after Lane’s thunderous dunk prompted a 30-minute delay in the game. Pitt went on to claim a 90-56 victory, then went on to capture the 1987-88 Big East regular season title. The game is forever labeled as the “Night the House Came Down.” RECORDS & ACHIEVEMENTS NATIONAL HONORS Charles Smith, H.M., 1987-88 BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME The Sporting News Naismith Memorial Basketball Brandin Knight, 2ndTeam, 2001-02 Hall of Fame Henry Clifford “Doc” Carlson, M.D., Scripps Howard News Service Elected, 1959 Charles Smith, 1st Team, 1987-88 Charley Hyatt, Elected, 1959 USBWA All-America Helms Athletic Foundation Hall of Jerome Lane, 2nd Team, 1987-88 Fame Henry Clifford “Doc” Carlson, M.D. NABC All-America Don Hennon, Inducted, 1970 Don Hennon, 2nd Team, 1957-58 Charley Hyatt Don Hennon, 2nd Team, 1958-59 Billy Knight,

  • Dedicated to Joe Gawrys Bill Gavaghan
    BEGIN Dedicated to Joe Gawrys Bill Gavaghan 1954-2010 1951-2010 15th Anniversary Issue 1 Foreword William Meiners n the grand scheme of things there’s nothing particularly significant about Ia 15 year mark. I mainly marvel at how quickly we arrived here with Sport Literate. It hardly seems like 15 years ago when I stepped outside Ed Eusebio’s small press publishing class and began hatching plans for a “real” magazine with Jotham Burrello, a fellow Columbia College student. Our first efforts were very green and “zine” indeed. But it was 15 years ago, the same season when my Cincinnati Reds last made the playoffs. Their lackluster, early exit against the Phillies this year only reminded me of how bittersweet baseball can be. And how far away next year sometimes seems. Our cover player knew all about what could be achieved at 15. That was the tender age of Joe Nuxhall, when, at the height of World War II, he became the youngest player to ever appear in a Major League game. And for the Reds at that. But I grew up listening to him urge long fly balls out of Riverfront Stadium when Marty Brennaman was on the play-by-play — “Get out of here!” I also tuned into his “Star of the Game” interviews after Reds games. He’d always sign off the WLW airwaves saying, “This is the old lefthander, rounding third and heading for home.” Though he headed home for good in 2007, that Joe was an important storytelling voice from my youth. This anniversary issue really is our best collective yet.

  • Handed My Own Life Annie Dillard
    Annie Dillerd won the Pulitzer Prize for her very first book, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (1974). In that book, she describes herself as "no scientist," merely "a wanderer with a background in theology and a penchant for quirky facts. " She has since written many other books, including collections of poetry, essays, and literary theory. Her most recent book, For the Time Being (1999), is a collection of essays. This selection comes from her autobiography, An American Childhood (1987). In "Handed My Own Life," we see the early stirrings of Dillard's lifelong enthusiasm for learning and fascination with nature. As you read her story, think about why she wrote it. What do you think she wants to tell readers about herself? What impression do you have of Annie Dillard from reading her story? Handed My Own Life Annie Dillard After I read The Field Book of Ponds and Streams several times, I longed for a microscope. Everybody needed a microscope. Detectives used microscopes, both for the FBI and at Scotland Yard. Although usually I had to save my tiny allowance for things I wanted, that year for Christmas my parents gave me a microscope kit. In a dark basement corner, on a white enamel table, I set up the microscope kit. I supplied a chair, a lamp, a batch of jars, a candle, and a pile of library books. The microscope kit supplied a blunt black three- speed microscope, a booklet, a scalpel, a dropper, an ingenious device for cutting thin segments of fragile tissue, a pile of clean slides and cover slips, and a dandy array of corked test tubes.
