Meadowlark and the 'Trotters were probably the only basketball team I could stand to watch (I'm not a fan of the game) and I was always amazed when I saw them on TV. IIRC, ABC TV used to have them on annually for a long time and the sheer joy of the team and their rapport with the stadium audiences was a sight to see. It was well worth setting aside the time to tune in and see the team flummox some other, usually well-paid NBA pro team, much to the delight of the fans, particularly the kids. Those NBA players may have had the big contracts and the endorsement deals, but the 'Trotters were by far the richer for the smiles they brought to everyone. Meadow lark may have left the team some time ago, and The 'Trotters may go on, but a big part of their heart is gone...
RIP, Meadowlark...
