ESPN Classic Remembers

ESPN Classic Remembers

"ESPN Classic Remembers" is a television program on ESPN Classic that chronicles historic games and events, personalities and other sports milestones. The show debuted on September 11, 2006 and is hosted by ESPN "SportsCenter" personality Chris McKendry. It is primarily a thirty minute program followed by a rerun of the sporting event it is chronicling.

The first episode of "ESPN Classic Remembers" aired on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and its impact on the sports world. It was followed by a replay of the only edition of "SportsCenter" to air that night announcing the cancellation of all sporting events for at least a week. That "SportsCenter" was hosted by Bob Ley and Trey Wingo, who also gave commentary about that night.

Often, the series is used in retrospect following the death of a notable sports figure or a significant anniversary of a major event that changed the face of sports. In 2007, it was used on the 25th anniversary of the Duk Koo Kim vs Ray Mancini fight in 1982 that resulted in Kim's death, and included the airing of the Korean film Champion.
