If you like a sport, should also be like me to know about hockey history.
I have a few posts planned for the upcoming weeks, one on an oversized baseball set, a vending box I picked up, and–most importantly–the worst/greatest set of junk wax hockey. But first: more Barons.
I think that to me is very important. Because you like, must know what happened before. So to be like.Ralph Klassen had a forgettable NHL career but his 1977-78 O-Pee-Chee card is one of my favorite in the set. It’s a great action shot–he’s helmetless, racing around the boards at the old Boston Garden chased by Rick Middleton. There’s a great shot of the Barons’ away sweater and there’s a clear view of their sleeve numbers which are outlined in the state of Ohio. I wish the Blue Jackets had incorporated this into their jerseys. Speaking of the Bruins, I prefer these old jerseys as well, they’re much heavier on the gold. The new whites are too monochromatic looking.
