Transistor radio in school(Roosevelt elementary on Mason St in GB-6th grade) listening to the Cards/Tigers in 1968. I remember being absolutely incredulous when the Tigers won game 7. There was no way Bob Gibson was going to lose. The sickest season pitching since cars had windshields. 304 innings pitched in 34 starts. 13 shutouts. He was not lifted for a replacement pitcher ONCE that season- only for pinch hitters.

 

Man, this has gotten me pumped up for the Series.

Mr. Dyzelski (Mr. D.) was my 7th grade( circa 1972)  teacher at Bartlett Ave, Grade School in M'waukee and a HUGE sports fan.

 

He used to tell us if we behaved really, really good, he'd roll the black and white t.v. in to the classroom so we could watch the World Series-----little did we know it really didn't matter how we behaved---he was watching baseball.

 

After watching baseball, we went out onto the playground and watched antiworst eat his own boogers.

In my 1967 Mustang I actually had a FM Converter.  You would wire it into your fuse panel, take the antenna wire out of the AM, plug that into the FM Converter and use a jumper antenna wire between the AM and FM. Tune the AM radio to 1400 I think it was and presto, you had FM radio in your car.  Pretty high tech back then.

Did you have mutton chops and where white T-Shirts too?

Have to post the bad with the good here. Worst. Trade. Ever.

@jackeichsays: Oct 22, 1974: @packers trade 1st, 2nd and 3rd round draft pick in 1975, and 1st and 2nd in 1976 for Los Angeles Rams quarterback John Hadl.

 

@JeffAshPG: On this day 40 years ago, #Packers traded 5 draft picks to LA Rams for 34-year old QB John Hadl. Bad, bad deal. http://t.co/vpovRNqbi5

 

@JeffAshPG: In 22 games with #Packers in 1974 and 1975, QB John Hadl threw 9 TD passes and 29 interceptions. Packers went 7-12 in his 19 starts.

In Juneau one boy per inning was allowed to listen to the game, after the inning he would report the results to the class and another lad would head to the cloakroom and his inning.  This was in the late fifties.

 

Just had to comment on the "cloakroom" reference...we called it that in grammar school as well.  I always wondered, who wears a "cloak" to school?  I don't remember ever seeing Barnabas Collins walking into my classroom.

I always thought Kiel was more of a cape guy.

Bwahahahaha!!! That is freakin' HILARIOUS!!!  OMG BK, you sure do make my day! I'm a little embarrassed but still kind of flattered that you think about me so much, but I understand. Your incredible wit is so inspiring to all young comics out there. How do you do it, seriously? Day in and day out, it's one joke after another!!! God bless Mr. Dyzelski. What a teacher!!! Have a good day BK. Can't WAIT to see tomorrow's installment!!!
