Did you know…

  • Johnny Damon, Carlos Beltran, and Mike Sweeney all played for the Wilmington Blue Rocks
  • Richard Petty won his first race at Dover International Speedway in 1969
  • NFL Hall of Famer Randy White is a homegrown Delaware product
  • Elizabeth Shue… also from Delaware

For the next 50 days ESPN’s SportsCenter will be traveling around the country to attend a sporting event in each of the 50 states. The US sports Mecca, also known as Delaware, will be visited August 19th for a Wilmington Blue Rocks minor league baseball game.

For a state who’s top atheltic product beyond Randy White is Delino DeShields, it should be interesting to see what exactly the boys from SportsCenter will be able to talk about.
