  2. When the San Francisco Warriors moved the majority of their games to Oakland in 1971 they were also playing some home games in San Diego (the Rockets moved to Houston in 1971) so it made sense to try to pull support from the whole state.
  3. "a war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country" It doesn't necessarily mean the American Civil War. But I'm sure an institute of higher learning knows that already....
  4. NBA - Phoenix Suns - Since watching them in the 1976 Finals NFL - Arizona Cardinals - Since they moved to Arizona in 1988. Prior to that the Dallas Cowboys since they were the team we got on TV every Sunday while I was growing up. MLB - Arizona Diamondbacks - Since they started play in 1998. Prior to that I followed the Oakland A's (1972-74), Cincinnati Reds (1974-78) and New York Mets (1978-98). NHL - Arizona Coyotes - I'm still trying to become a real fan of hockey. NCAA - Arizona State Sun Devils - I'm not much of a fan of college sports the way they are currently run however, and don't watch much of it.
  5. Oh yes. I have been collecting NBA logos since I first got access to a scanner years ago and scanned the black & white logos from the NBA guides from the 1960s, 70s and 80s. (some of the earliest versions of these logos on CCSL were colorized versions of these)
  6. Finley was sort of a mad genius. He built those terrific A's teams pretty much on his own, but his hubris and the changing times made his empire crumble. Orange baseballs, designated pinchrunners, brightly-colored uniforms, the mule for a mascot, white shoes..... there will never be another one quite like him.
  7. This Steamrollers logo is from the old 1946-49 Basketball Association of America team, not the football team. I found it on an old program years ago and sent a scan to CC when the site was all young and new.
  8. According to the documentary known as 'The Beverly Hillbillies', yes!
  9. On one level I wish the Diamondbacks had stuck with the minor league Firebirds name.
  10. This was the second of the three preseason games that the Claws played. Nine days later they were out of business.
  11. From the one season when neither was known as the Hornets [2013-14]
  12. That is one angry unicorn. Actually, "Unicorns" was one of the names considered in 1946 when the Boston team in the Basketball Association of America decided to go with "Celtics"
