Year In Sports 2018

The time has finally come. As we sit here on the final day of the year for 2018, we take a look back at what was in the sports world. There were some memorable moments, like the Capitals winning their first championship, the Eagles clinching their world championship, the Miracle in Minnesota, the Darling story of the Vegas Golden Knights, another world title for the Warriors and the Red Sox running wire to wire in baseball.
