Logo of the World Hockey Association’s Birmingham Bulls, who were owned by bombastic John Bassett. Bassett tried to lure Wayne Gretzky to the Bulls but didn’t succeed, but did sign Canadian national hero Paul Henderson, who had scored a big goal to defeat the Soviets in 1972. Of course Henderson did little to excite the fan base in Alabama. Bassett did sign a number of future stars to his team, and they were nicknamed the “Baby Bulls”. Among those players – Michel Goulet, Rick Vaive, Craig Hartsburg and Rob Ramage.
