O.J. Simpson's Bronco chase on June 17, 1994 — a photographic look back at the historic day in sports when the 'Juice got loose'

June 17, 1994, was a day that won't soon be forgotten, with four major sporting events set against the backdrop of the most infamous "sports" story in American history — the day the Juice got loose.

Los Angeles — O.J. Simpson led police on an hour-long, low-speed car chase in a white Ford Bronco (driven by friend Al Cowlings) after learning he was being charged with the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

Chicago — Earlier in the day, the first World Cup ever held on American soil kicked off at Chicago's Soldier Field. The second U.S.-hosted World Cup is 359 days away.

New York — Coverage of Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Rockets was interrupted by live updates of the car chase. New York won that game to take a 3-2 lead, but Houston won Games 6 and 7 to capture their first title.

New York — Just a few miles south of Madison Square Garden, the Rangers had paraded down the Canyon of Heroes to celebrate winning their fourth (and most recent) Stanley Cup.

Oakmont, Pennsylvania — A 64-year-old Arnold Palmer, who grew up in nearby Latrobe, gave a tearful goodbye during the final U.S. Open round of his career. He failed to make the cut at Oakmont, where Ernie Els won his first major in a three-man playoff.
