throughout my life. Until I retired it was simply because I was working and couldn't watch on TV.... plus fall, Autumn, is harvest season.... I was never around a TV EXCEPT... Ram's games... and even then not all of those.
I often mention the '75 World Series, it being my favorite of all time.... I didn't 'see' a single game. I was in the cotton fields picking cotton. Yes, I've seen the 'big' plays from that series since... even before youtube, but 'live' I didn't see a single play.
When that series comes up today it doesn't even cross my mind that I didn't 'see' it.... because I 'did' see it... in my mind.
