Game Eight fell on a work day as this newly-minted UofT grad was completing my first 90 days as a researcher/writer at CFTO-TV in Toronto. I arrived that day in One of My Greatest Acquisitions, Ever, a baby blue 1967 Pontiac Bonneville convertible, top down.

Everyone found an office with a TV, and the normal production bustle was zero for 3 hours or so. It was bracing to see cool TV professionals erupt in glorious, unabashed bedlam at 19:26! Every time I think of Paul, Phil and Yvan, I smile for that blue convertible!
