OK, so they can't find the puck that scored the point that gave the BlackHawks their 2010 Stanley Cup, but we do have some other stuff.
7. MARCIANO'S BOXING GLOVES
On May 15, 1953, Rocky Marciano defended his world heavyweight title against Jersey Joe Walcott at the Chicago Stadium. A year earlier, Marciano had taken the crown from Walcott with a knockout in the 13th round.
Marciano won this one for victory number 44. Today, his gloves are in the Italian American Hall of Fame in Chicago.
8. 1963 NCAA BASKETBALL TROPHY--
Underdog Loyola faced two-time champion Cincinnati in the March 23, 1963, NCAA tournament finale in Louisville. The Bearcats were up 15 early in the second half, but coach George Ireland's Ramblers came back behind the play of Jerry Harkness to force overtime.
With just seconds left, a missed Loyola shot was rebounded by the Ramblers and a basket scored as time expired. Loyola is the only Illinois team to ever win the NCAA championship and you can find the trophy in the lobby of the Norville Center at the school.
