Next month Mr. Sas will be inducted into the Miniature Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame, said Lynn Schmidt, a board member of the hobbyist group. Mr. Schmidt (who is familiar to many football fans as Weird Wolf for leading cheers in the stands at Kansas City Chiefs games) said the association, based in Parkville, Mo., has about 300 core members who are devoted to playing electric football. Many now make their own vibrating fields and customized figures, which they say move more reliably than the old ones.
“You were so thrilled that the men moved, but you were so aggravated that the guy would be running down the field toward the end zone and suddenly run out of bounds,” said Mr. Schmidt, 51, recalling the game he knew as a child. “That’s a rule we haven’t changed: if your man is running down the field for an easy touchdown and suddenly runs out of bounds, he’s still out of bounds.”
I can relate.
