Then again, back in the fifties and/or earlier, there probably weren't quite as many radio and television stations, for instance, as there are now, so the air was probably clearer in many ways when it came to receiving stations in various areas of the country. Not only that, the number of major pro sports teams was much lower than it is now, and much of the country wasn't represented in many sports leagues, as well.
Remember, for decades, St. Louis was generally the farthest west and the farthest south of all the major pro sports markets in all four major pro sports leagues. At least until the Cleveland Rams went west, or the Giants and Dodgers did the same, later on, that is. Most of the major pro sports teams in them were congregated mostly in the northeastern to Middle Atlantic states, or in eastern Canada, in the easternmost half of North America, or near the Great Lakes, with the exception of certain important teams elsewhere in North America.
Of course, some still-existing teams started their respective team histories out West or in the South, for example, too, you know. Teams like the San Francisco 49'ers, for one such example. However, most of them folded or moved, in time, just like many other teams all over North America.
Talk more later, as time permits and all, I'm sure, Lord willing and all, of course, folks. Thank you all for your time and attention and all here, then, as always, for that matter. CD out.
