Wow. I'd never thought that I would see this posted, by an official, on this Forum. By a "fanboy", yes, official, no.

I was a big NBA fan back in the 1970's, Boston Celtics (Russel, Havelicek, Jones, Cousy, Howell), and New York Knicks (DeBusshere, Russell, Frasier, Bradley, Reed). I lost interest, and then gained back a little interest during the Bird, and Johnson era, but that was only for a short time. I can't stomach watching the NBA for more than a few minutes. It just ain't the same. Give me scholastic, or collegiate, ball any day. I guess I'm just a basketball snob.

That may help explain the number of NBA teams in Connecticut.

Hey, we have the Whalers. Wait a minute. No, we don't anymore. Never mind.

We have the Celtics for a few home games each season. Wait a minute. No, we don't anymore. Never mind.

Kraft is going to build a stadium in Hartford for the Patriots. Wait a minute. No, he changed his mind. Never mind.

Wait. I've got it. We have the WNBA Mohegan Suns. Nothing like watching a bunch of women playing basketball in the summer, at a casino. Wait a minute. Never mind.

Well the Boston Red Sox brought Wally the Green Monster, and the 2008 World Series trophy, to Hartford a few weeks ago.

Oh well. Never mind. Go Huskies.

The Hartford Dark Blues were a 19th century baseball team. The team was based in Hartford, Connecticut. They were a member of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players in 1874 and 1875 and the National League in 1876 and 1877. Playing at the Hartford Ball Club Grounds, in 1876 they joined the National League as a charter member. The team's owner, Morgan G. Bulkeley, was also the first president of the National League. The team left Hartford and moved to Brooklyn, New York for the 1877 season to become the Brooklyn Hartfords. The team disbanded after the 1877 season.

I have fond memories of sitting at the Hartford Ball Club Grounds, sipping sarsaparilla, on a warm summer day, watching our Dark Blues. Those were the good old days.

Ah, fond memories...I can still recall that snappy tune whenever they scored a goal.

They really brought down the house when they played in the Hartford Civic Center (or at least the roof! Remember that? or was that when they still played in Springfield?)

I didn't know Frasier Crane played ball. Looks more like the white shadow to me
