Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The '80s in Sports brought many memorable moments. For instance, Mike Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history, knocking out Trevor Berbick in the second round. In Baseball, Pete Rose broke Ty Cobb's record for career hits in 1985 with 4,191. The NBA trophy was split between two teams during the 80s: the LA Lakers took five and three went to the Boston Celtics. In the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers won the Super Bowl three times, followed by the Washington Redskins who took it twice. In tennis, history was made by Steffi Graf who completed the Golden Grand Slam in 1988. The book reviews the year 1985 in sports including football, basketball, baseball, motor racing and the champions who shined that year including Bernard Hinault, Danny Sullivan, and Martina Navratilova.
