CAMERON, Mo. – A Cameron man is hoping the Chiefs become Super Bowl champions so he can finally open a rare bottle of whiskey from the last time they won.
Mike Loyd hasn’t always been a Chiefs fan. It was his wife’s father, Milton, who first introduced him to football and the team.
“It started late ‘80s after I married my wife,” he said.
Watching the Chiefs on Sundays became somewhat of a ritual for Mike and Milton. That is up until Milton’s death five years ago.
“He was 76. His health was failing. He had a heart condition,” Mike explained.
Before Milton passed, he gave his son-in-law a limited-edition bottle of McCormick Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The Weston-based distillery made less than 1,000 of them to commemorate the Chiefs 1970 Super Bowl victory. [Reply]
Have both McCormick decanters. They made a KC Royals one that year also. Have the WOLFPACK license plate, and the Chiefs yearbook with the front cover cutout in a “1”. [Reply]
I have a copy of the game film on VCR tape. No commentary. It even has the pre-game hot air balloon incident where it went bouncing through the stands. That reminds me, I need to copy it to a DVD or something.
SB IV patch that's sewn on my chiefs letterman's jacket. LIV patch will look sweet sewn directly under it. [Reply]
