New York Sports appears to be one crammed time capsule, which in itself is pretty cool. A little busy, but so was the New York sporting scene in the summer of 1984 (though isn't it always?). Great that Darryl was game for pointing his weapon like another weapon. Doc on the cover of Time, though...that's next-level fame. Too bad there was more of a Time jinx than SI jinx where he was concerned.

I want to know more about the real Walt Michaels.

Doc's cover is iconic.

In retrospect, Willie, Mickey and the Duke did not move over. Looks like Straw is holding an eggplant.
