Yeah, as I mentioned Baseball does have its moments, especially the post-season.
Hockey. You can't see the puck on TV, especially at a bar.
Now, back when the Ducks were good and won it all, I went to a lot of those games. My brother was the strength coach for the team in the Paul Kariya, Teemu Selanne days. One game, I bought tickets front row on the glass. It was amazing. Players smashed on the glass literally inches in front of you. I felt like I was part of the game. One of the best sports experiences I've ever had. You just can't get closer to the action than that!
I watched the Blues lift Lord Stanley's Cup (and I cried like a baby after that. One of my early Rams memories was seeing them win the Super Bowl in the 99-00 season, but I had never expected the Blues to actually win it all, not when they were at the literal bottom of the league in December).
The Blues were actually my first sports memory, listening on the radio in the basement with my dad some time when I was, like five years old. We played the Avalanche (and I heard Joe Sakic score two goals where we lost.) But yeah, I was downtown for the Stanley Cup celebration, and it was fucking
amazing. Vince Dunn (one of our then-defensemen) fell on my lap, and I was, like, "OMG, THIS IS AN AMAZING STORY, THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
That was until I heard the Rams win it all against Cinci. I love the Blues, I love the Cardinals, I love the Mizzou Tigers...but the Rams are my true love, the team I'd follow to hell and back.
