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. Since 2002 ZogSports has donated over $1,000,000 to various charities. ZogSports has also expanded to the Northern New Jersey area with a dodgeball league that launched in January 2006. The New Jersey branch offers the same leagues at the New York branch, in areas including Hoboken, Newark, Jersey City, Montclair, and the Meadowlands Bubble.
In 2007, ZogSports expanded to Brooklyn and Queens where they offer dodgeball, touch football, 3-on-3 Basketball, Outdoor Soccer, and kickball.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
