The World Series is on Channel 5 tonight at 1:05. But, my baseball days go back a bit to the era of Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Roger Marris, Sandy Koufax, Stan the Man, et al. Channel 5 also covers US football and my favourite, ice hockey.  Preferred the days Channel 4 covered US football as they had Frankie Goes To Hollywood's  Two Tribes  as their theme tune, which worked pretty good with football footage.

Hi Krissy----for years it was the Toronto Maple Leafs, then I defected to the Boston Bruins, then latterly to the Colorado Avalanche.  One of my high school teachers in Winnipeg gave up teaching to play for Minnesota; probably paid better I suspect. Then in the summers of the 60s, used to play in the baseball peewee league. If I recall right, one of the guys in our high school also played in the major league after graduating.  I'll have to look him up agian.

I like hockey but don't really follow a team. I did go to a professional game once and that was pretty exciting!!  Tough group those hockey players!!!

Which team did your friend play for?
