I don't know about you but as a kid ,the sound of Baseball Tonight bumper music playing In the distance meant It was time for me to plant my butt in front of our living room television set to get filled In on whatever It was that took place In baseball that day.Of course ,without the internet and the never ending stream of instant sports news and media,there was always that void.That space between the morning edition of Sportscenter and Baseball Tonight .Both shows gave you ample information on the goings on In baseball that day ,but none of It was tangible.One had to rely solely on memory to run back last nights episode to anyone who may have missed It.
So what did an 80's kid living In an internet-less world do to get the 411 on his favorite team? I present to you ....the newspaper!
Prior to this copy ,I hadn't read the sports section of a newspaper In over 20 years!I've yet to pick up another paper ,since.Which begs the question.Do kids still read the sports section?Does anybody?I highly doubt It.
When was the last time you picked up the newspaper to check out the sports section?
