@TroyRenck Same. Of all the great Colorado sports moments I covered, sitting at Fenway for game 1 of the World Series covering the ROCKIES of all teams will always be the biggest. I remember asking myself over and over, “how the hell did this happen?”
@btoppmeyer Such a smug article pretending to be journalism. Many of the points you made are, in fact, valid, but your presentation is so focused on “look at me” that those points get buried. Opinion pieces should be labeled as such. You failed your job to your readers.
Sterling didn’t say a word or laugh or anything, but right then it was time to go back on the air, and without missing a beat, says “welcome back to Braves baseball!” and off they went to the bottom of the 7th.
My John Sterling story. He was on Braves broadcasts in early 80’s when I DJ’d at a Braves affiliate. During local breaks I’d take the broadcast off the air but I could still hear the announcers in the radio booth. On this particular night John was paired with Skip Carey…
During the 7th inning stretch local commercial break, there was a fan in the stands yelling up at Skip, “Hey Skip! Hey Skip! Sing for us like your daddy” over and over. Suddenly I hear a chair scooting back and then Skip yells (presumably leaning out the window) “Fuck you!!”…
@Westaf20@RapSheet You nailed it. I’ve brought up this movie as one of my favorites on numerous occasions and the person I’m talking to has never even heard of it. Way underrated.
Canadians picked up the pace big time there in 2nd period. Makar gets some redemption with the tying goal after his defensive breakdown on Boldy’s goal.
