Growing up in the State of Texas is like being branded XXL for the rest of your life….cuz everything is bigger in Texas…..and anyone from the other 49 US States knows this…..which means that even our heroes are bigger….for that is just a simple fact….I mean, just to name a few….Ben Hogan (golf)….Shaquille O’Neal (basketball)….Babe Didrikson Zaharias (track + golf)….Rogers Hornsby (baseball)…..Sammy Baugh (football)….Mia Hamm (soccer)….George Foreman (boxing)….Michael Johnson (track)…..and A. J. Foyt (auto racing)…..and folks, that is just a few…..for we have a list of “50 Texas sports giants” that we will post some day.
So, A. J. Foyt is a “home boy”…..and we are proud to have so much footage of his talents on the race track here at ImaSportsphile….as he was truly one of the greatest talents to ever grace a race track.
