I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Edgy Music Gives Akron Fringe Status Page 1 of 2
    Edgy music gives Akron fringe status Page 1 of 2 Posted on Thu, Jun. 10, 2004 Edgy music gives Akron fringe status By David Giffels When the body of Robert Quine was discovered last weekend in his New York City apartment, he became the first of a puzzling subgeneration of Akron-born artists to pass into the great beyond. At 61, he was the elder statesman of an absurdly brilliant bunch, all born roughly between 1945 and 1950, who collectively represent the city's most noteworthy contributions to art and pop culture. Most of their eventual obituaries will include the adjectives that apply to Quine: iconoclastic, adventurous and influential. In music, there are the Mothersbaugh and Casale brothers, who formed Devo and now make soundtracks and commercials. There is Tin Huey, which spewed out the solo career of horn player Ralph Carney and Chris Butler's band the Waitresses. There is Chrissie Hynde, a virtual lock for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In film, there's Jim Jarmusch, the grittily independent director, beloved by critics, the darling of Cannes and Sundance, forever flirting at the edges of the mainstream. In comics, there's Paul Mavrides, co-author of the underground Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, and yet another whose influence is more notable than his popular success. In literature, there's Rita Dove, the Pulitzer Prize winner and two-time U.S. poet laureate, whose more refined tone may place her in a different aesthetic category, but who (like Hynde) has passed blithely through glass ceilings -- iconoclastic, adventurous and influential.
