“The Number” profiles terminally ill Simsbury resident Logan Schoenhardt, whose dream comes true when he meets his idol, Tom Brady. Free Screening April 7th at 11:30.
In 2016, ESPN’s E:60 profiled a 10 year-old boy from Simsbury, CT named Logan Schoenhardt. On Sunday, December 4, 2016. Ten year old Logan Schoenhardt was on the sidelines at Gillette Stadium ready to watch his favorite team, the New England Patriots face the Rams. Logan stood on the same field as his favorite player, the one wearing #12, Tom Brady. How Logan got here, and what the number 12 means to him, is a story beyond any season. It is a story that gives the question, “What’s in a number?” more meaning than you would ever imagine. E:60 tells the story of Logan and in the process reminds us that we all have a number deep inside of us. Sports Matter!

“42 to 1”
In sports, we’re used to seeing the improbable. But the impossible is another matter entirely. And on February 11, 1990, while the odds were technically 42 to 1, it was very much the impossible that happened in a boxing ring in Tokyo, Japan, when James “Buster” Douglas defeated Mike Tyson for the heavyweight championship of the world.
The ESPN “30 for 30” documentary “42 to 1” tells the story of just how incredibly unlikely it was. It starts in Columbus, Ohio, where Douglas grew up the son of a boxer, who trained and guided him to become a top-10 heavyweight contender in the mid 1980’s. Of course, it was all in the shadow of the rise of “Iron” Mike Tyson, who became a worldwide phenomenon in a remarkable undefeated run to the undisputed title. And by the time their fight was set, Douglas was lightly regarded, merely a stepping stone for bigger fights for the champion. But on the day they met, a series of extraordinary circumstances led to an unimaginable result.
If you were a sports fan in 1990, you’ll never forget where you were when you heard about Tyson-Douglas. Because, after all, it was impossible.
