Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Stay with me here. I am from South Florida by way of New York City ( East side Manhattan if you must ask). I grew up on Miami Beach like many, many 60’s and early 70’s New Yorkers. I am a devoted sports fan…..as much now at 63 as I was at 13…Oh and by the way, the 50th anniversary of my Bar Mitzvah is but a week away, but I digress.
I have always been an LA ( then St. Louis, then LA) Rams fan. So there is no excuse. I love the Dolphins…just after my Rams. Not quite sure why I fell in love with them as a young kid except perhaps because of Jack Youngblood (@theblood85)
It is the other three sports that make more sense. I love my Golden State Warriors. No. I am not a front running phony. I am not talking the now and Steph. I talk Rick Barry and Keith ( not yet Jamaal) Wilkes, and Clifford Ray. I root for the Heat..UNLESS.
My biggest sports team of all is my beloved St. Louis Cardinals. Yes, I root for the Marlins…UNLESS.
I am a huge Boston Bruins fan. I love the Panthers too.. UNLESS.
Here is the point. I remained loyal to the teams (football aside) that I followed and loved because we had no basketball, baseball, or hockey team until the late 80’s into the 90s). So today I am saddened greatly that my favorite hockey player on my favorite hockey team is headed down here to SoFla to the Panthers.
Oh, I will get over it. But Marchand is my favorite hockey player. This is a huge struggle. I would love to meet him and shake his hand.. at Quincy Market Place…Not here.
And now I am conflicted. I mean when Steinbrenner shipped off my all-time sports idol (Graig Nettles) to the San Diego Padres in 1984, I rooted for them. And they made the World Series that year. But today I feel as though I did, when my St. Louis Cardinals shipped Keith Hernandez off to the New York Mets who by the way, played in their same damn division.
Yeah. This sucks.
