Early in TV career, producer told me in my ear to read promo card. I said on talkback button(goes to truck, not over the air)”No”. He said again “Promo”. I said again on talkback “Can’t”. He says “Why?” I hit talkback again “wind blew the card out the window, it’s at mid field!

[BaseballHistoryNut @nut_history]

The Brewers broadcast team lost their read out sheet due to wind and got stuck in the netting. After talking about it, the cameraman zoomed in on the sheet and they were able to read from it. How can you not be romantic about anything related to baseball.

Best thing you’ll see today
