Library of videos to share

We invite you to borrow from our library of DVDs or VHS tapes of things that are rare and can only be appreciated by geezers like us. Right now it is a small collection, but maybe you have something of interest that others might also like to borrow.

I am sure everyone has some interesting things, here are some examples of things you can borrow from me...

Windy City Softball magazines from the 1970's, where you can read about legendary teams like the Bobcats, Sobies, Strikers, and others.

Channel 5 TV interview with Jim Heffern about Over 60 softball (5 minutes).

If you have every traveled north on rt47 near the Wisconsin border, you will notice a small town that has a water tower painted like a basketball in memory of the 1952 high school state championship basketball game between Hebron and Quincy. You can borrow the tape or DVD of the second half of that game.

The 1954 game that was the actual basis for the movie Hoosiers, that being the game between Milan and Muncie Central.

1985 Bears championship season

2005 White Sox playoff run and World Series

Elk Grove Channel 6 telecasts:
