Basketball player who starred in “Hoosiers” and set the standard for size in Indiana-style fried pork sandwiches.

Bobby Plump made the 17-foot jumper that won the 1954 Indiana state basketball championship on his final possession for the tiny Milan High School.

This day, 70 years ago, the Milan Indians’ victory served as the impetus for the 1986 David vs. Goliath Hollywood sports film “Hoosiers.”

Huge breaded fried pork tenderloin sandwiches, a staple of Indiana cuisine, are served at Plump’s Last Shot, the family’s slam-dunk sports bar in Indianapolis.

In 2023, the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas will donate $1.2 million to charities while also providing $25 in family fun.

From coast to coast, there are raves about Plump’s fried tenderloin. An American national publication named it one of the best five regional sandwiches in the country.

The hardwood hero who started the two Hoosier legends is still going strong at eighty-seven years old.
