#6 - The Single Wing (SW)

Probably one of the first football offenses, so I'll say 1870's.

LE..LT..LG..C..RG..RT..RE

..............QB

..............HB................SW

..............FB

Princeton used it forever, probably into 1950s.

I "think" The Citadel still uses it.

I'm going to guess that Coffin Corner Kick originated in the 1970s by Ray Guy.

Mario Mendoza played for the Pirates and the Mariners, and I always thought it was George Brett who coined the "Mendoza Line", but I double checked his Wikipedia page and he credits his Mariners teammates Bruce Bochte and Tom Paciorek with inventing it. When Brett was chasing .400 in 1980 he mentioned the "Mendoza Line" in an interview and that is how it came into public prominence.

Was going to say that the Baltimore Chop was coined for Wee Willie Keeler's hitting style where he would chop the ball downward to have it bounce so high that he would beat the throw to first. Originated when he played in Baltimore in the 1890s (like Ed said before me).

Okay, Frank.

The Lambeau Leap originated in the 1990s, the people associated with it are Reggie White and LeRoy Butler, and occurred in Green Bay, WI.

How is that?
