Something made me think of my favorite sports heroes. I can't remember what it was, but suddenly I was reeling them off to myself while driving to lunch. I thought I'd share this stuff that dates me.
Since this is all going to date me, I'm going to start off with a category that I think defines my generation, something we had that the world may never have again.
