(The ump?)
"Yeah the umpire. He come up to me and said, ‘Oh, this is how it used to be every day.’ When you hear this type of stuff, it’s so important for us and we take pride for that too.

That was some unique Steve Stone energy we experienced last night and Bob Costas is an encyclopedia. The broadcast didn’t need all their attention on the game. Fans paying attention knew what was going on. We were just flies on the wall of a campfire conversation about an era.
I really appreciated last night’s broadcast. I hope it’s in the running for an Emmy. I understand Bob Costas was more enthralled by the ‘80’s nostalgia, but I enjoyed being there to listen to two baseball minds chop it up about a timeline I wasn’t part of. #WhiteSox
I loved every minute of our broadcast last night. Who knew that during our 80s retrospective a great game would breakout. A lot of people worked very hard to put it together. Bob Costas was a pleasure to work with and Connor McKnight helped set the stage. SOX are a half game out
Connor McKnight and Dan Plesac will call the #WhiteSox-Phillies series this weekend on CHSN. John Schriffen is calling the UFC event in Las Vegas, and Steve Stone is off.
