Live from New York. . . Dave Price from the “Early Show” wowed by sport stacking!

A New York City appearance on the CBS “Early Show” was on tap [August 26, 2003] for world sport stacking champion Emily Fox.

She was invited to do a segment with "The Early Show" weatherman Dave Price, who was pleased to introduce his national audience to the “phenomenon of sport stacking.”

After seeing Emily hit a Cycle stack in 8.75 seconds, Price said, “That is remarkable! Wow!”

The weatherman was a good sport after Emily soundly outstacked him in a head-to-head race. “This is just terrific,” he said. “Great coordination, wonderful skill and a lot of fun.”
