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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
