History
ZogSports founder Robert Herzog witnessed his office on the 96th floor of World Trade 1 being struck by a plane on September 11, 2001. The tragedy forced Herzog to reevaluate his life and draw from the positives. He thoroughly enjoyed playing in sports leagues and had even met his wife playing softball. In September 2002, Herzog launched ZogSports as a 32-team weekend football league. The company has expanded to include leagues for 13 sports.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
