Just to review, The Fan Teaser was the creation of former Ann Arbor News Sports Editor Geoff Larcom. Longtime friend and fellow Ann Arbor News alum, Pat Schutte, took it to heights previously unknown. We aim to keep it alive here at The Sports Fan Project. The cropped photo and the accompanying clue give you an idea as to who or what the image is of. We invite you to use the Comment option to take a crack at solving the Teaser and, if you’re so inclined, participate in some good-spirited banter with your fellow sports fans. The Fan Teaser will appear each Friday morning with the reveal coming to you Sunday.
Easy one. Eric Heiden. Five gold medals at Lake Placid in 1980. And there was an upset in the hockey bracket, too, if I’m remembering correctly.
Easy for you, I suspect, you Laplander;-) I suspect others might find it a bit more challenging. Yes, there was something else going on that year in upstate NY!
