I'd never seen this before and thought it was an interesting story from Hodges about how he got Bird to come to Indiana State.

Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

Saw a video just the other day that a week after the '79 Championship game, Bird suited up for the ISU baseball team, played first base, and had a pretty good day at the plate in his lone game before going to Boston.
