Here are some coincidental oddities in the world of sports: 



On October 17th, 1960, Houston Texas was awarded a major league baseball franchise: the Colt .45s. Forty-five years later to the day, the team--known since 1965 as the Astros--lost a thrilling NCLS game to the Cardinals by the score of 4-5 from Houston's standpoint. That same night's lone NFL score was Rams 28, Colts 45. 

From 1972, when Roger Staubach led the Cowboys to a win, through 1980, when Terry Bradshaw led the Steelers past the Rams, every Super Bowl won by a team whose starting quarterback wore number 12.

Czech Olympic legend Emil Zatopek was born on September 19th, 1922, the same day as Dana Zatopkova. On July 24, 1952, Zatopek won a gold medal in the 5,000 meters, and Dana, whom he married in 1948, did the same in the jabelin. Emil had proposed to Dana by saying, "So, we were both born on the same day. What if, by chance, we were also to get married on the same day?"
