His description probably has merit.

I would go through Match game withdrawal for the first week or so every September.

Fun show. So representative of the 70s.

Just an awesome lineup. I remember when he did an interview during or following his MVP season. It went something like this (not verbatim):

Interviewer: Can we do an interview with you?
Foster: Why?
Interviewer: Because you are George Foster.
Foster: I have always been George Foster and you never wanted to interview me.
Interviewer: But you are now the MVP.
Foster: So it's not because I am George Foster.

I passed my drivers exam with a 76 Mercury Grand Marquis, a couple years later took my future wife out with this wagon:

Stock photo, mine was a Brougham and had white leather seats.
I still have the clock from the dash board!

This is a stock photo, 1978 Buick LeSabre. I drove that from when I was 17 in 1985 until 1992 and 150,000 miles on it.V-8 and kicked ass until I bought my 1st car.

Me too. But I remember him as much for throwing out Denny Doyle at home in Game 6 1975 as his bat...

One of the greatest in-season managerial decisions of all-time was when Sparky Anderson moved Pete Rose to third base from outfield and put George Foster in the OF from the bench. John Vukovich was a light hitting 3rd baseman at the time. Part of that was Rose's desire to boost a slumping team. The Reds went 41-9 in a 50-game span at one point.
