College Sports: University of Hawaii [bush league program but the state gets pumped when they win anything] GO BOWS

MLB: Giants fan since NYC days [but hard not to gag during the Bonds era; otw like just about any pre-expansion team; hope I live long enough to see a Cubs-Red Sox World Series, walk off homer wins Game 7 for Chicago]

NFL: Niners [lived in the Bay Area during the Montana Rice days; you could not help but love Walsh's guys; too bad they currently suck; the Niners will rise again!]

NBA: Loved the Larry Bird Celtics , don't have a team now but would like to see Victoria boy Steve Nash win the Big One.

NHL: Hockey gets no respect from you guys, does it? Bit of a goon show, I know, but if they ever succeed in toning the violence down Lord All Mighty it is an exciting game. Favorite team: Max's Canucks, then any team north of the 49th parallel.

Favorite ballplayer of all time: Moose Skowron when I was a kid. Now, if can only pick one, Matty. Honorable Mention to Bobby Thomson who gave us Giants fans one of the best sports moments ever and a mensch to boot.

Favorite athlete, non-ballplayer: Gotta be The Greatest, Muhammad Ali.

Bonus category:
Favorite sportscasters: Ol' Diz and Pee Wee. Thanks, podners, for bringing MLB to the boonies of Colorado in 1962. Pee Wee: "What did he just throw?" Diz: "I believe that's a baseball." Props also to Hank Greenwald, SF Giants radio announcer. Intelligent, low-key, knew when to speak, when to shut up. A thinking man's play-by-play man.

Vintage cards, scantily-clad Hawaiian maidens, uku-zillion penguins, authentic Dutch people and more at . .

College Sports: University of Oklahoma (OU, Boomer Sooner)
Major League Baseball: Detroit Tigers
NFL Football: Detroit Lions (tough team to root for)
NBA Basketball: Detroit Pistons
NHL Hockey: Detroit Red Wings
Favorite Player of All-Time: About half the 1886-1888 Detroit Wolverines, tough to narrow down. I certainly enjoy researching Lady Baldwin, Deacon White, and Charlie Bennett.

I'm a Homer, always rooting for the home team. The Oklahoma connection came through marriage. My wife is perhaps the only season ticket holder in Michigan (OU football).

Best Regards,
Joe Gonsowski

MLB: Red Sox. My favorite NL team was the Expos and my all-time favorite team is the Milwaukee Braves. I was too young to see them, though.

NFL: Vikings. Almost as much heartache as the pre-2004 Red Sox.

CFL: Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Hometown team off to an 0-4 start after a loss in the Grey Cup Game last year.

NHL: Bruins. See Vikings comment. I did see them win a couple of Cups in '70 & '72 when I was 11 & 13 but my favorite team back then was whomever was playing Montreal.

NBA: Uh, uh.

Cock Fighting: Little Jerry.

Favorite Player: The Splendid Splinter followed by Bobby Orr, John Unitas, Fran Tarkenton & Dieter Brock.
