do any of you older members remember the american basketball league-the previous competitor to the nba in 1960-61 and 1961-62. They had the chicago majors, hawaii, cleveland pipers, los angeles, washington. My uncle, in los angeles, handles the publicity for that league. Connie hawkins also played in that league. Does anyone remember the world hockey league? You probably remember the world hockey association [[which had 4 teams eventually taken into the national hockey league).
Am i the only one here who saw the st. Louis browns, philadelphia athletics, boston braves, washington nationals [[american league), cincinnati redlegs [[during the communist scare/mccarthy era)[[major league baseball), satchel paige, johnny mize, joe dimaggio, bob feller, ted williams and stan musial in their primes, willie mays, ernie banks, and hank aaron as rookies, boston yanks, new york yanks, chicago cardinals, dallas texans [[nfl 1952) and then see that team move to baltimore [[to become the colts),[[nfl), chicago stags, milwaukee hawks, rochester royals, fort wayne pistons, syracuse nationals[[all nba), george mikan, abe saperstein [[as a player!), st. Louis flyers, rocket richard, red kelly, jean beliveau, gordie howe, sid abel and ted lindsay in their primes, the united states hockey league [[pro league), western hockey league [[pro league), who remembers the toronto maple leafs when they were good?
Am i the only one old enough to have played organised hockey without a helmet?
