Broke my heart when they were intentionally hosed at Pittsburgh in 1979-1980.
Oilers caught that ball, won that game.
Loved the Bummer..loved the cowboy hat..Luv Ya Blue!

really think about this. Bum was born in 1923! holy crap. what a life. I don't think any generation would have seen as much change over their life as folks born in the early 1900s that live this long. Wow. RIP
