Winning Super Bowl Lets Former 49ers Fumble Investing

Harris Barton, a former right tackle with the San Francisco 49ers, remembers the time Reggie White of the Philadelphia Eagles flattened him. It was Sept. 24, 1989, and for two downs, Barton had fended off White’s “rip and club” move of throwing opponents off balance and knocking them to the turf.
On third down, White hurled Barton on his butt and hit quarterback Joe Montana so hard he fumbled the ball. Montana went on to throw four touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to beat the Eagles, 38-28, on the way to the team’s fourth Super Bowl victory, Bloomberg Markets magazine reports in its March issue.
