I was 12 years old and slinging kegs around during this shit (family was beer distributor for Bud and Special Export...sold 1800 kegs this night). I remember all the local tribal action outside (large Native community near dome in area that was recently torched....most has since been sold to Somalis).

Crazy 2 nights in Jan!

KLC, I think that's Oscar Gamble.

I have to say that Darnell Hillman may have the best Pro Sports Afro ever:

In his ABA days, Dr J said that he'd get afro tips from Hillman.

Is there a truly great player that flew under the radar more than Tony Gwynn?

Guy had what, 8 batting titles yet never was front page news or headline news on ESPN or anything out of line....

7/19/86 Four Mets players (Ron Darling, Bob Ojeda, Rick Aguilar and Tim Teufel) are arrested after an overnight altercation at Cooters, a popular Galleria area sports bar. The Astros beat New York 5-4 on a Craig Reynolds walk-off homer in a sold out Astrodome.

KLC, that's a great rare find. Pilots were there for only one season. It was very much an 11th hour deal for Bud Selig to get the team to Milwaukee for the 1970 season:

After a winter and spring full of court action, the Pilots reported for spring training under new manager Dave Bristol, unsure of where they would play. The owners had given tentative approval to the Milwaukee group, but the state of Washington got an injunction on March 16 to stop the deal. PNSI immediately filed for bankruptcy — a move intended to forestall post-sale legal action.^[30] At the bankruptcy hearing a week later, Milkes testified there was not enough money to pay the coaches, players, and office staff. Had Milkes been more than 10 days late in paying the players, they would have all become free agents and left Seattle without a team for the 1970 season.^[31] With this in mind, Federal Bankruptcy Referee Sidney Volinn declared the Pilots bankrupt on April 1—six days before Opening Day—clearing the way for them to move to Milwaukee. The team's equipment had been sitting in Provo, Utah, with the drivers awaiting word on whether to drive toward Seattle or Milwaukee.^[32] The move came so late that Selig had to scrap his initial plans to change the team's colors to navy and red in honor of the minor-league Brewers of his youth. Instead, the Brewers were stuck using old Pilots' uniforms, with the team name replaced. One legacy of the Brewers' roots in Seattle is that their colors are still blue and gold, although the shades have been darker since 2000.

Nice, klc. Very similar color scheme.

That picture is Mike Hegan. Pretty famous in Milwaukee. Was Brewer TV announcer for a while and was successful in opening Mike Hegan batting cages in the area.
