When I was a boy, I thought hockey was the most popular sport on earth, while the rest were marginal, secondary sports (football, basketball, soccer). I saw Baseball as the 2nd most important. This wasn't my opinion as much as the air I was breathing in Montreal. I wasn't aware that it was different elsewhere.
I learned to skate earlier than my living memory reaches. Hockey was just it.
When I was a boy in Montreal everyone played baseball it was equal to hockey for about 5 years until it was clear that the team was not going to be able to compete every year with the big money teams that did not fly in Montreal because we were spoiled

I get this referenceWhen I was young, seemed that life was so wonderful - a miracle - oh it was beautiful, magical.
I grew up north of Toronto. My memory as a kid in the early 90s is that baseball was bigger than hockey. We all played baseball at school and various schoolyard baseball-type games. I took my baseball glove to school regularly in the fall and spring.
Then I moved to Ottawa and nobody played baseball. Hockey was #1 and soccer was the summer sport. It was a bit of a shock. I had never played soccer in the schoolyard before outside of gym class.
Everyone played baseball in my youth too, but the popularity took second best to hockey. You grew up in the 1970s? Interesting that baseball was on equal footing back then.

One of the most talented and classiest stars ever to play in the NHL, Alex "Fats" Delvecchio spent more than two decades with the Detroit Red Wings. He was a superior playmaker and team leader and one of the game's true gentlemen. When he retired in 1973, he trailed only long-time teammate Gordie Howe in games played, assists and total points. His career extended from Detroit's glory years of the early 1950s to their dismal 1970s
Thanks for making the pick
Interesting. So baseball was bigger in Ontario than in Quebec (for the sake of discussion, I'm including the Ottawa area in Quebec). Nowadays which is most popular, the Leafs or the Blue Jays?
