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. |

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. Edited by: Paul Hilton at:22nd October 2008 20:26 |
