Today we celebrate the birthday of the late Lamar Hunt, shown here celebrating the 2002 US Open Cup title with the ColumbusCrewSC (and his son, Clark). Hard to imagine where the sport of #soccer in the U.S. would be without this sports pioneer. In 1999, the USOC was renamed the "Lamar Hunt US Open Cup", a fitting tribute to his larger than life legacy. #Crew96 #ColumbusCrew #SportingKC SportingKC Chiefs #Chiefs #ChiefsKingdom FCDallas #DTID MLS #MLS SoccerHOF CrewUnion #NFL #Columbus #LamarHunt #HappyBirthday #Legend KyleMartino BrianDunseth Oughton8 alexi_lalas #OTD #OnThisDay #USMNT ussoccer
