Many many thanks guys for the great stuff. Jay, looks like you have more tickets to Stars games than the team actually sold. Daves your Mass. Mad Dogs team reminds me of my local Mankato Moon Dogs team, still in operation in the Northwoods League and one-time employer of current SF Giants SS Brandon Crawford (as well as Curtis Granderson when the team went by its former name of Mashers--both played in the same park as the Mankato Mets from my initial post).
MK, perfect example of what I was thinking with the Mankato Mets--short term Midwest baseball. Now if current hurler Joba Chamberlain was there, they really would have a Joba the Hut. Bumpus and Grainsley, that program-- "Ride Nancy Hanks"-- along with those suggestive Mounties cap logos make me wonder if I took the wrong pill this morning. Michael, nice piece. I'm sure you researched it, but it was nice to see Art Stroble, who not only was an NHLer himself, but the father of Eric Stroble, Miracle on Ice player who I was lucky enough to watch play in high school and college (flowing blond locks and deceptive speed made him stand out).
Really enjoyable stuff.
