Jon Hamm Loves the Blues

With the long anticipated premiere of the hit show Mad Men, it's time to point out the Blues' number one celebrity fan.

       "...I follow the Blues, they're my team..."
                               -Jon Hamm


John Hamm is not just a casual celebrity fan, he love da Blues. He even totes around that old hat that he remembers buying from the Kiel Center (who cares when the date was?).

He recently talked to Toranto.com about being such a big fan. He says that the team's success has given him some bragging rights against his on-screen fiancee from Mad Men, Jessica Pare`, a native of Montreal and avid Canadiens fan:

"It's non-stop hockey talk," said Hamm. "I'm from St. Louis, our Blues are doing very well this year, and I can lay into her beloved Canadiens."

I wonder how much Halak has come up in those conversations...

We've all seen those ads that Hamm did for the 2009 season, but here is an excellent interview where he talks about what hockey and the Blues have meant to him, and the fact that he considers hockey to be "the most immediate, exciting, fun sport on the planet." My thoughts exactly.



Good luck on the show Mr. Hamm, I'm a big fan. The show is fantastic!
