That was basically how it was when I was a kid, I didn't know or care about the whole drafting process (plus it wasn't as public friendly as they are now-days) I just followed my fave teams, mostly my Homie teams during pre-season training and during the playing season. I still don't do the whole draft watching thing. I never followed it much before it was mainstream and I still don't follow it now BECAUSE it is mainstream. I just like to know about the players my teams drafted.<br /><br />When I was a kid it was during the days when the card collecting was just during the season when the card companies put out the cards. Around 1976/77 a friend of mine turned me onto my LCS which at its beginnings was almost literally just a hole in the wall. It was in the back corner of a used book store and they were open weekends Saturdays only at first. I still basically just stuck to thinking about what was in season at the time. A few years later they took over the entire space the bookstore had held (the bookstore owner either died or sold it), then moved across the street, years later moved across town, and this past fall another move across town.<br /><br />Sometime in the early 90s I switched gears to thinking about whichever sport whenever, but I still tend to concentrate just on whichever is in season. Right now it's Elmer Season.CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.com
