I haven't had a bumper sticker on a car since the late 70s when I had one of the few Detroit Lions bumper stickers in PHX. Let's face it: the Lions are consigned to playing the fool's role in a lifelong comedy. However, I can always scan the hard drive of my memory and find Van Patrick's voice telling me that it is a beautiful day for football. Perhaps my Leons bumper sticker did the same for some other Leon fan.

Now, I have one of the few, if not the only, East Lansing Baseball bumper stickers in PHX. I like that. EL Baseball was my last organized sports team. It's special for me. I remember the days fondly. The bumper sticker makes me smile every time I walk up behind it.
