Yes, we are so lucky to have the Dad connection. You brought back memories of wearing the Converse Chuck Taylors, that weighed 3 pounds with 2.5 thick rubber. Playing in the backyard for hours alone with imaginary fans cheering great shots. My first team in Ohio was the faraway Knicks because you could hear them on AM radio, then the newborn Cavs who stunk but upset and ended LA's like 33 game winning streaks.

The days of small, transistor radios listening to games in bed at night. Thanks for the great story, man and memories!

Best, MfB
