Pluggers by Rick McKee for June 09, 2014

I have a Seattle SuperSonics visor.

Cleveland Browns are still here

Do the Brooklyn Dodgers count? As a kid, I was devastated when they left for that vast wasteland out west.

Or a player who is no longer on your team.

I have a sweatshirt from Iowa State College.

So where are the Philadelphia Athletics now? I lost track after Kansas City. (Just kidding, though not really. I just don’t care.)

.. Baltimore Colts

Houston Oilers left town to become the Tennessee Traitors, oh, I mean Tennessee Titans.

I must be even older than a plugger because I did not even know that the Huston Oilers do not exist anymore.

We just put our Darren Sharper jerseys in the clothing collection box.

And now the Astrodome is (slowly) being demolished because the land is infinitely more valuable than the ’dome.

A sweatshirt from the George Washington University would be a real collector’s item in that they discontinued the football program in the late 50’-early 60’s!

St. Paul’s Fighting Saints. If only my dad had allowed us kids to get a shirt back then.

They did at least change the name. I think the name should stay with the city, and the team have to change to another when they move. I have never warmed up to the Rams, because that name belongs to LA. And, I still believe the Cardinals belong here in St Louis. Does Arizona even have Cardinals, looks to me like it’s too dry? They should have become the Sun Devils, or something appropriate to the area.

Still have several NHRA Winston event T-shirts.

His weight must have been distributed a little differently back then.

…what..the astrodome is being demolished…where have i been for the past few decades

Montreal Expos…

The funny part is the fact that IDK the Oilers were defunct.

DLee4144: Or even worse, what does Utah have to do with jazz? It is mainly New Orleans, but I would accept Chicago, or even San Francisco. I left the Rams when they abandoned their Embraceable Ewes. Sexist, to a degree, but at least they were honest, and even had a 60+ year-old in the group.

And sometimes it comes around again. I still have my Charlotte Hornets cap from the 80’s and now they’re back.

I still have a Chicago Sting jacket from the late 70’s. It may be a collectors item. By the way, they were Chicago’s first soccer team.

Yeah, the poor guy does look a little lost

I’m from San Diego, and sometimes we wish the Chargers and The Padres would move to a different city! The Chargers keep threatening to leave unless they get a new stadium! We say “Go ahead and leave! And take the Padres with you”
