David, you and Bill have gotten me thinking about 'luck' a bit more. Trying to think of times when I felt like my team got gyp'd because of 'bad luck', I really can't come up with anything. But here are some sports plays that I really do think involved luck:
- the immaculate reception
- Doug Flutie's hail mary pass
- Moises Alou getting robbed by a fan
- any play involving instant replay that was ruled incorrectly after review (or correctly) - the luck being the official drawn for the game to make such decisions
- all coin tosses
- Mickey Mantle twisting his ankle on a sprinkler head
- I would almost say the Christian Laetner's bucket, but he did have to throw it in the correct direction.
