Sports

I am a HUGE sports fan. Below are links to pages of my favorite
professional sports teams and a few excellent fan pages.

Unfortunately, most of the fan links on this page no longer work. I am trying to find suitable substitutes. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

The Boston Celtics

Bostonian Steve has a great Boston Celtics page with various pictures, articles, and links. You should check it out if you are a Celt fan.

The Pittsburgh Penguins

MARIO!

The Pens have the most distinctive voice in hockey in announcer Mike Lange. "Heeeeeeeeee shoots and scores!!" To hear some of his famous calls try Fly's Phabulous Page-O-Hockey! Mike Lange Sound Files!. There are too many classic calls to pick any favorites, so just try out these links, and "Get in the fast lane Grandma, cause the bingo game is ready to roll!!!"
Toki Barron also has a few Mike Lange files, among other things, on the Pittsburgh Penguins Homepage.
Also see Rick's Penguin Page and PPHQ for more of the Penguins and Mike Lange.

The Pittsburgh Pirates

Tribute to Willie Stargell

The Pirates web site has photos of PNC Park which opened in April of 2001.
Glenn's Pittsburgh Pirate Page is an excellent source of Pirate history and trivia, as well as current Bucco news. He has links to other MLB info and the latest news on the proposed new ballpark in the 'Burgh. Stop by and show your support for the Bucs!

The Pittsburgh Steelers

Steelers Live has great articles and information on the Black and Gold.

Steelers Fever has many quality downloads for fans of the 2005-6 World Champion Steelers!
The Pittsburgh Steelers Fan Ring is the best place to find other fan pages dedicated to the team from Steel-Town.
What Mike Lange is to the Penguins, Myron Cope was to the Steelers. Visit Arlin's Myron Cope's Sounds Page for clips of this "unique" announcing style. Yoi!

The Toledo Mud Hens

Heralded as the "most famous minor league team in baseball" due in large part to Toledo native Jamie Farr's portrayal of Corporal Klinger in the T.V. show M*A*S*H. I haven't found any fan pages for the 'Hens on the Web. Send any links my way if you have them.

There are quite a few sports news services online. I've linked to some of those below. These days, almost any media oriented site is customizable so that you can personalize it to your own tastes and interests, but if I had to pick a favorite it would have to be the CBS SportsLine page. I just like the general layout and page break down. I also enjoy the daily trivia questions they provide. If you sign up to their rewards program, you can earn points for viewing pages and answering the trivia questions correctly. The points are then redeemable for gift certificates, equipment, and other ‘prize’ items. If you visit CBS SportsLine and sign up for the rewards program, tell them that "luke035" sent you!
