That's a cool legacy to have! I didn't get to spend much time watching tv when I was a kid. In fact, not only were we "allowed" outside until it was dark, we were encouraged to stay outside until it was dark. That meant that we were welcome to come inside, but we'd have to do chores and clean.

Good for you for pursuing your dreams. It sounds like quite the adventure. Your parents sounds like the were very dedicated to go to all those games and even travel to get there. Now you have such great memories from it though!

I looked up maurice on ebay and saw there is someone selling a card. That's pretty cool!
