In this episode we're joined by longtime Seattle-area resident Tom Steury who shares tales of the Mariners, SuperSonics, and Seahawks where he's been a season-ticket holder for years which makes him a bonafide 12th Man. Tom also reminsces about his early life growing up in Berne, IN, huddling around an uncle's TV to watch tiny Milan defeat Muncie Central, 32-30, (the inspiration for the movie, Hoosiers), and his time at Purdue University with a future Olympian and NBA star, Terry Dischinger (who just recently passed away).
And, not to bury the lead, but Tom also shares his decades-long quest to shoot 1 million free throws (accomplished in 2022) and recently making his 1 millionth free throw. Check out the video of the event here.
What's next for Tom? Not to spoil it, but he wants to get his overall percentage up to 93%. No shocker that this retired Boeing engineer knows exactly how many more he'll need to make to get there and about how long it'll take him to accomploish it.
