I actually bought a set of baseball cards for that league.

Funny I was thinking about this just yesterday, and if that league could work now with a cable channel TV deal.

I know the ABA would have flourished if it could have waited around long enough for ESPN to have arrived, can you imagine the early ESPN days, they would have showcased the ABA, the same way they did with March Madness.

wonder if they have any of these games on tape (sure they do). Wish they would show them on ESPN 2 or classic sports
