SPORTLIGHT
Jan. 5
1964–Keith Lincoln of the San Diego Chargers rushes for 206 yards on 13 carries, catches seven passes for 123 yards, completes one pass for 20 and scores two touchdowns in a 51-10 rout of the Boston Patriots for the AFL title.
1983–In his 42nd game, Edmonton's Wayne Gretzky scores his 100th point of the season with an assist in the Oilers' 8-3 triumph over the Winnipeg Jets.
1991–Kevin Bradshaw of U.S. International scores 72 points to break Pete Maravich's NCAA Division I single-game scoring record of 69, but Loyola Marymount sets an NCAA team scoring record in defeating the Gulls 186-140.
1993–Reggie Jackson, who hit 563 homers and played on five championship teams in 21 seasons, is the only player elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
1997–The second-year Carolina Panthers, behind John Kasay's four field goals, beat the Dallas Cowboys 26-17 to advance to the NFC Championship game.
1999–Nolan Ryan, George Brett and Robin Yount are voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, the biggest class of first-time candidates since Babe Ruth and four others were chosen in the original election of 1936.
2003–Jeff Garcia hits Tai Streets with a 13-yard touchdown pass with 1 minute left, and the New York Giants botch the snap on a 41-yard field goal attempt as time expires in San Francisco's 39-38 victory–the second-biggest comeback in NFL playoff history.
2009–Pittsburgh makes it to the top of The Associated Press' men's college basketball poll for the first time. The Panthers are one of a record nine Big East teams in the poll. The 16-team league had a record eight schools ranked for three weeks earlier in the season.
