Jan. 7, 2001: About 3,000 fans, many with faces painted black and purple, greet their team at BWI Airport as it arrives from Nashville after defeating the Tennessee Titans, 24-10, to advance to the AFC title game. “This is why I wanted to play football in Baltimore,” quarterback Trent Dilfer says.

Jan. 9, 1986: David Robinson, Navy’s 6-foot-11 center, dominates in an 85-54 win over James Madison. Robinson, an All-American, manages 26 points, 18 rebounds, 12 blocked shots and four steals.

Jan. 5, 1980: Towson Catholic’s girls basketball team wins by forfeit over Martin Spalding when the visitors don’t show up. Coach Al Patrick acknowledges that he “goofed,” having forgotten about the game.

Jan. 3, 1971: The Colts defeat the Oakland Raiders, 27-17, at Memorial Stadium to advance to the Super Bowl. Running back Norm Bulaich scores an 11-yard touchdown on a Statue of Liberty play, and Johnny Unitas passes 68 yards to Ray Perkins for a TD.

Jan. 5, 1966: In the first NBA doubleheader played at the Civic Center, the Bullets defeat the St. Louis Hawks, 114-101, after the San Francisco Warriors edge the New York Knicks, 118-117. Between games, the announced crowd of 4,225 is treated to a 30-minute concert by the Peabody Symphonic Wind Ensemble.

Jan. 7, 1959: Gino Marchetti, the Colts’ 6-foot-4, 240-pound defensive end, is the sole unanimous selection for the NFL All-Pro team. Baltimore’s world champions place five others on the squad: quarterback Johnny Unitas, receiver Raymond Berry, halfback Lenny Moore, offensive tackle Jim Parker and defensive tackle Gene “Big Daddy” Lipscomb.

Jan. 8, 1949: Navy wins its 47th consecutive dual meet wrestling match, 32-0 at Columbia. Undefeated since 1942, the Midshipmen get an 8-4 victory from Jim Hunt (Poly), a football lineman making his debut at heavyweight. Hunt will letter in both sports for three years in college.

Jan. 8, 1913: Fisticuffs cut short a basketball game between City and Poly at the YMCA gym. With several minutes left and City leading, 26-5, a Poly fan rushes the court and strikes a City player on the back of the neck. “Instantly, all rooters were on the floor and ready to lend a helping hand,” The Sun reports.

Birthday

Jan. 3, 1950: Jim Dwyer, an Orioles outfielder (1981-1988) whose 103 pinch hits rank tied for 17th all-time in baseball.
