Rookie of the Year

Henry Rowengartner breaks his arm, it heals with the tendons a little too tight, and suddenly a 12-year-old is throwing 100 mph for the Chicago Cubs. Daniel Stern directs — and steals scenes as loopy pitching coach Phil Brickma. When the arm gives out mid-game, Henry wins with playground tricks. A cable staple of 90s childhoods.

The Smashing Pumpkins

Billy Corgan's Chicago four-piece: shaved head, a black ZERO shirt, and a voice that could go from a whisper to a howl inside one bar. Between Gish and Machina they were a defining act of 90s alternative rock — a #1 double album, two Grammys, and seven VMAs in a single night — and then they ended it themselves, on stage at the same Chicago club where they'd started.
