.....it's fine.....soccer is worse--I think ..they can play 90 minutes, plus over time and the game can be 0-0 or 1-1

you asked if we were excited or not--I'm not

Soccer and hockey are definitely boring, but I always loved basketball for some reason.
I played baseball for years, but the steroid cheating and outrageous salaries stained it's appeal to me some.

hockey has more scoring than soccer and fast paced --more shots also

More dangerous too...( unless you're in the UK)

4 inches to the left and it could have hit his temple and killed him.

Up in Ohio when I was around 12 - was playing street hockey on a skating lake and wound up with 4 stitches on the chin when my new hockey skates slid out from under me. ( I was used to the figure skates with teeth on the front )

Cool. In the late 70's I worked at the Richfield Coliseum ( Where the Cleveland Cavaliers used to play ) so I saw some of their bad games( LeBron wasn't born yet ) , the Globetrotters a couple times, Ice Capades, and a shitload of rock concerts.

Baseball was my favorite sport growing up in the 1960's. When Curt Flood did not want to go to the Philies in the Dick Allen deal, the "reserve clause" which binded a player to a team was thrown out by a federal judge opening up free agency. The result was to many strikes, a massive increase in costs to go to a game, reduced player loyalty and steroids that has destroyed the integrity of the sport. For that was a game where old men talk about records of great players and who was the best. Not anymore. It did however provide All Star Game baseball home run contests with 500 foot home runs.

I'm still a Red Sox fan but the magic is nothing like when I was a Pirates fan as a kid. Dad took me to game 3 of the '71 Pirates - Orioles World Series and I got to see some of my heroes play like Roberto Clemente and Brooks Robinson...at the old Three Rivers Stadium.

I am a Phillies fan. At that time the Pirates were known as "the Lumber Company" I believe and had the" We are family song" going in that time frame. Phillie broadcaster Harry Kalas called them "the Buccos" a version of the Bucs. The Phils of course were not very good at that time. It was our birthright.
