Show r Meanwhile, Over Here Perhaps the truest measure of the fanatacism of a sports enthusiast is the extent (or trouble) to which he or she goes to satisfy that thirst to watch or participate in an athletic contest. Its but I once did, and admittedly sometimes I was pretty dedicated toward that end. As a result, I couldnt do too much arguing with someone who used the word to characterize this fanatic sports enthusiast. Its one thing to experience disappointment when ripped away from a glued position in front of a TV set on which an exciting baseball, football or basketball game is being viewed, in order to transport to a department store a before the half price signs are taken down. one thing to make the sports section your top when the newspaper arrives on your priority Its doorstep. of section that you can recite the batting averbase- balls top 10 hit- ages of if thats one of the things it to meet the requirements of being a bona fide sports-a-holi- portant to me then, and I recall being more than just a little pleased that things worke d out most of the time. Efforts to deal with unwelcome intrusions into the enjoyment of watching a good ball game have taken on other forms, too. In past years, for instance, there were more than just a couple of times when Id ask my mom if I could put my supper on a tray and take it downstairs to the TV, so as to not miss too much of a Monday night NFL contest or a World Series night game. Most of the time Mom would go along with the idea, provided I promised to avoid spilling anything along the way and to return the dishes when the final gun sounded. -- front of the TV. I probably should have been studying somewhere quiet instead, but I sat there protecting my chair, aware that if I budged, it would become occupied immediately by someone else. I had to wait through a couple of those utterly preposterous late afternoon game shows before baseball took over, but later, the mind of this sports fan felt immensely rewarded. For what evolved before me in my front-roseat was the sixth game of the 1975 World Series between Boston and Cincinnati - generally regarded as the best fall classic contest of modern times and one of the greatest ever.

I was an for a i -- boun- under- graduate college student at the time, and the residence hall vhere I lived had a TV that you coulc never count on for a good picture.

Its not a comfortable feeling, having to decide between catching a ball game that appears to have great possibilities, and going to a movie that has an equally strong lure. Which brings to mind something that would constitute a real quandary should it ever occur. Speaking hypothetically about it the over lunch with a other day, I wondered what Id decide to do if I had to opt between a girl night out with the in town, and a ticket to the seventh game of the World Series. Youd probably end up taking her to the ball game, my colleague suggested.
