As a child I was a huge fan of the Los Angeles Rams, I even had all of their autographs, Jack Youngblood, and Hacksaw Reynolds, all of those guys were great, I have their autographs still, but then they moved the team to Saint Louis, Missouri, and it broke my heart, How could they not love their fans as much as we loved the Rams? Moving the Rams to Saint Louis did not show any loyalty to their fans in Los Angeles, they just put money ahead of everything else and they broke my heart, and I quit watching Football. I never regained my love for Football.
But, I have the Los Angeles Dodgers to root for in Baseball. The Dodgers have always been a classy team. And I loved Vin Scully, and Tommy Lasorda, and everything about the Dodgers. I wish they would bring the games back to free television, such as to KTLA Channel 5. Gene Autry used to own Channel 5 and he owned the Angels of Anaheim so he showed the Angel games on Channel 5. ( The owner of the Angels now, Arte Moreno, is a crook, he is corrupt, and I want for the Angels to get a new owner who has better character. )
When I was a kid we only had about 8 television stations but we could watch all of the sports, we could see the Boxing, and Baseball, and Football, and the Wide World of Sports, it was all on free television that we received with an antenna. Now they want for everyone to pay money to watch sports, it is all greed motivated now.
I still like the Dodgers, but it would be cool if they would broadcast the games on a free local channel.
Salute,
Tony V.
