15 / 45 every hour was a prominent spot. It's part of a trend where sports scores and highlights have been somewhat deemphasized in media. Channel 4 got rid of its sports anchor a couple of years ago. Basically the regular anchor may toss it to a sports reporter at a location, but I don't think there is so much of a general wrap anymore. Maybe the reporter will mention another story not from the location (e.g., Finlay saying the Nats score when he is out a Commie HQ), but I'm not even sure of that. This is spreading to other cities.
Oh, I still have a Britches polo-style shirt I wear. I got rid of a cotton sweater that bled maroon continuously. Britches died while I was in Boston, around 1997-2003, right?
Feels like it was earlier than 1997, but maybe.
