Aw man.
I grew up in Minnesota in the 60s/70s.
We had four black-and-white channels. All the kids on the block knew all the players on the Twins and these TV guys:
Casey Jones (Roger Awsumb)
Roundhouse Rodney (Lynn Dwyer)
Clancy the Cop (John Gallos)
The Crusher
Verne Gagne
Wow, that brings back memories. How about “Axel and his dog” along with Carmen the nurse?
#12 so true. Now I could not name a player and there is no personalities like Casey Jones and Roundhouse Rodney and Clancy the Cop who ran tv shows with the 3 Stooges, WC Fields, Abbott & Costello and Our Gang series and Marx Bros and Laurel and Hardy etc.
