Is Binghamton near Johnson City, which is where I was born and left for Cali when I was 2 1/2 years old?I grew up in Endicott NY, small town, close to the Pennsylvania border. If you never heard of it, it's near Binghamton. If you never heard of that, I can't help you.
Yep, Roman was also my hero back then.
I remember the local sporting goods store didn't have any Rams jerseys, but they could special order one. My only choices were Merlin Olsen or Deacon Jones, the old 3/4 sleeves, only in white. So I saved my morning paper route money (felt like it took forever), and ordered the Olsen. Waiting for that ALSO felt like it took forever.
If you remember the jerseys from back then, after multiple washings the rubber/plastic numbers would start to peel and fade. I was NOT going to let that happen....so I kinda kept trying to just spot clean it. A WHITE jersey. Worked for a while, but it did nothing for the smell. Finally surrendered it to Mom.
It ended up like the rest of them, faded, peeling numbers, but it was so awesome!
(Can't believe I remembered all that shit).
