When Connors was 39, he went on a run of a lifetime...
As Vin Scully said in "For Love of the Game" pushing the clouds away from the sun one more time...
His 1991 US Open started with a first-round win over Patrick McEnroe 4, 2, and 4. He then beat Michel Schapers and Karel Novacek to reach a fourth-rounder against Aaron Krickstein...
It was there that magic happened... over almost five hours of slugging it out...
This spurred him on, and the crowd as well...
If ever a crowd was behind Connors, today was the day 19 years ago...
