Today in Sports - Dan Marino surpasses 50,000 career passing yards and reaches 4,000 completions

The day’s sports calendar features multiple milestones across football, hockey, boxing, college athletics, and tennis. In 1996, Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino surpassed 50,000 career passing yards in a 37-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts, and he also reached 4,000 completions for another NFL first. Earlier, 1978 saw Larry Holmes retain the WBC heavyweight title in Las Vegas by knocking out Alfredo Evangelista in the seventh round. The list also recalls key college and pro results, including the Phoenix Suns setting an NBA record with 107 first-half points in 1990.
