Rob Elliot - San Francisco - 45 at the time of the event (5/27/03)
On May 27, 2003, Rob Elliot became a trendsetter, but it just may be that others will no longer be able to follow that trend.
Sam Sangetta - Olathe, KS - 58 at the time of the event (January 31, 2003)
Sam Sangetta never realized that he had a flair for the dramatic, but when he suffered Sudden Cardiac Arrest on January 31, 2003, he did so before a near sellout crowd.
While fans waited for the start of the second half of a high school basketball game, referee Sam came out onto the floor and was waiting for the teams to emerge from their locker rooms when, according to several eyewitness accounts, he hit the floor hard.
"People told me my knees never buckled," said Sam who, like most SCA victims remembers nothing about the event, "I just went straight back."
