The Day That Was: June 10, 2007

It was a long, stressful weekend for Hit Some Dingers. The NBA Finals continue to disappoint and Curlin didn't win the Belmont. At least this post added a little bit of joy. I'm sure it comes to no surprise that the Rocky series ranks close to tops on my all-time favorites list, so these first two headlines made me very happy... even if they are from the last two. Without further ado: The Day That Was June 10, 2007.
