Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Is there any update on OGonz anywhere?
 
I loved Jimmy Dudley!

But I listened to him on a wooden Philco table radio. It was my Dads high school graduation present in 1941. I listened to that radio until the tubes in it were no longer in production.

One of my fondest memories of a wonderful childhood was listening to that radio late at night. The tubes in it gave off an orange glow against the wall.

That radio picked up just about everything...including the BBC in London.

Every hour I'd hear...'London calling. This is the BBC.'..in precise English.

I loved those old radios as a kid that could bring in out of town stations. Getting WJR in Detroit was easy with Ernie Harwell and the Tigers. Some nights if you were lucky you could get KMOX St. Louis for those strange National League players.

CKLW in Windsor played the hits!
I was able to listen to KMOX and the Cards on a regular basis, along with KDKA in Pittsburgh, and occasionally the Twins and Braves when the atmospheric conditions were right. Tribe games on 3WE were essential while living in DC before the Nationals arrived. And don’t get me started on the Motor City Murder Meter on the big 8, CKLW.

Great memories.

'CKLW, the Motor City'

Outside of the Tribe, I listened mostly to the Cards on KMOX.

The radio announcing trio one year was Jack Buck, Joe Garagiola, and Harry Caray...three HOFers on the same broadcast.
 
Already one Cleveland event cancelled due to weather tonight.
 
Might be a lot of baboon shit being flung around during/after this series. I suggest wearing hazmat suits while posting.
 
Since it was mentioned he may have been available to PH yesterday late in the game by Matt Underwood (or Andre Knott), I'm assuming his abdominal tightness issue is minor.
Abdominal Tightness? Did they take him off the field in a wheelchair, because that sounds like he had the shits.
 
It cost $150 million to put a roof on Arthur Ashe Stadium. And that's built in the swamp.
I'd like to think we could put a roof over Progressive Field with relative ease.
 
Great memories.
