I came to the old board during the WXYT "word of the day" or whatever it was 20 plus years ago. Part of my wife's job at the time was the supervision of the radio broadcast and the network. She's also supervised the Wings and Pistons as well as U of M. Previously she had the Bears and BlackHawks games. She doesn't like sports. That part of her career ended around 2005.
I grew up a Pirate fan, was 8 when Mazoroski hit the home run. My wife once embarrassed Phil Gardner by telling him that our son was born 9 months after the 1979 championship. He's on only child.
I'm primarily a baseball fan and would follow the home team of parent club where we've lived. Detroit was home for about 20 years. I watched the bad in the early 2000's, cheered Maglio's home run in 2006 and felt the pain of losing 2 World Series. I still follow from a distance. Tigers much more than the Pirates. I know very little about the 2 minor league teams within driving distance.
Like Bert at 70 I have no idea what the next several months or years bring.
