“We were a minor league team that didn't feed into any majors, in a town that loved just about every sport but ours. We were going nowhere and we knew it, so why not have fun? In the forties, when I was playing, we were officially the most violent team in the country, and that means probably the whole world, and by the way, that's why I could skate with no toes.

I just leaned against the rail, with my head spinning, and people screaming and running all
around me.”
― Mike Carey, Vicious Circle
