we had satellite starting in mid-late 80s, and i would surf different baseball and hockey games nationwide; all channels and premium also. basically every channel out there. the dish would move every time you switch satellites. even then, there were about 20+, i think. each with up to 20? channels. it was too much, i could never settle on one thing because i thought i was missing something else. no dvr, remember.
you are from canada, so i'll give you a break on the BJ's -
sloppy lately, but the Cardinals won Sunday ! -
Well I could get MLB from my Cable provider, but it would be expensive for me and I get ALL Blue Jays games on Rogers Sportsnet, who own the Blue Jays, so not biggie.
Back to back world series winners are fairly rare and my Blue Jays are in that list at #14.

LOL...this would explain why I didn't watch a lot of TV in them days.
Spent more time smoking pot and listening to my music.

It was pretty much limited to 3 minutes on the local 6:00 news show.
Or whatever I was able to hear about down at Wally's.

Did anyone else watch the Baseball Bunch in the early 80s?
Hosted by Johnny Bench, the Great.

i vaguely remember that. how bout the cards on or in cereal boxes, some 3D and some you had to cut out. in the mid-late 70s i would spend all my allowance on packs of baseball cards. i hated the spoiled kids that got cases at a time -

I, too, spent all my money on cards...walking the railroad tracks for two miles to the nearest store to get them. :luigi:
Or at "The Esquire Club."

Yes, like patrick jane the great, I believe Roger Courtney owned one of them big satellite dishes.
He liked to watch golf matches and learn how to "raise" his golf score.
Roger had a compelsion complex to raise his bowling and golf score.

And a conspirer against Big Barn joining the club.
I never did care for Roger. Like Bea, he wouldn't just call the man.
