the 1970 world series was between the reds and orioles. i loved the reds, and johnny bench was my favorite player. i was in 4th grade and i wanted to watch the series, which was all day games then. my dad had a b&w portable tv and i asked him if i could take it to school to see if the teacher would let me watch the games. he said yes, so i hauled that bad boy with me on the bus to school each day. my teacher, mrs. cook, was cool with the idea as long as i got my work done first. that was the best thing she could have said to me, because i always got my work done quickly. as soon as i was done, i would set up the tv on a little table and pull my chair over to watch. she even let other boys come over and watch it with me.
time of my life doing that. got to see a lot of the series that year.
