Hickock's Sports History

http://www.hickoksports.com/history.shtml

"This is (surprise!) a sports history site. So, if you're looking for the latest scores, you're in the wrong place. You may find information on what happened in sports last week (or during the last century), but probably not on what happened last night." Find your way around the site via the alphabetical index of topics or by the index by sport. The site has sections for popular sports like basketball and football, but also less well known sports, such as ballooning and team handball.
