Die-hard Tigers fan. I live almost three hours from Detroit, and still had 20 game mini packages for years until I started school. Even drove all that way and sat in the stands to watch them lose 119 games. Doesn't matter.

1968: World Series games were still played during the day. Our 4th grade classroom had it on the radio every day it was on. Awesome memory (and Denny McClain was wilder than hell in the All-Star game that year).

1984: Living in Maryland in grad school. I could get Ernie Harwell on WJR all the way in Md if I sat on my balcony. I sat out there in a lawn chair with a beer and listened to Ernie the night they clinched the pennant. Finished up my thesis and got home in late Sept just in time to watch the playoffs.

Definitely follow baseball
