The closest I ever got to liking real sports was baseball circa 1982. Dad and I lost our house due to bad investments on his part and we had to move to apartments. The Atlanta Braves were looking good that year. We had a hero in Dale Murphy.
I finally have them again! Topps 1983 Atlanta Braves baseball cards! I loved Baseball at the time. 1982's Max Dugan Returns had a help in my love for it too. I used to get up early on Saturday mornings to watch a show Johnny Bench hosted about the mechanics of baseball for kids.
I have that card! Dale Murphy was the shizz!
ReplyDeleteIt is not only Dale Murphy mind you! I have the entire team in my hands. All 32 cards!
DeleteYou look super intense in this photo.

DeleteJohnny Bench and the Baseball Bunch w/ The Chicken if am remembering correctly.
ReplyDeleteBingo! I was crazy for that show! Damn John, how old are you?
