I subscribe to a newspapers website that allows me to read old newspapers from multiple sources and I've been having fun going through the sports sections of the early '70s (yeah, I'm weird). Right now I'm in July of 1974 and I've been enjoying reading all of the different articles about Aaron as they happened. It's a different perspective while it's happening than reading about it later so I'm liking that aspect.

Yea, I started watching baseball in about 1968. I also like to read old newspapers. Reading real newspapers written the day after the Titanic went down was strangely interesting to me.
