Aw geez, thanks Wayne. Though I don't post here much anymore (posting just seems like work anymore) you guys have a very special place in my heart. We knew the glory days of this hobby.

Hopstretch 13,817 Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Tyll, this is just a random thought, but have you ever thought of writing a piece on the Genesis of the hobby. You are the only person who could do it justice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wmcmanus 894 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Joe Garagiola, beloved baseball announcer, dies at 90: http://wgntv.com/2016/03/23/joe-garagiola-beloved-baseball-announcer-dies-at-90/ Well written title to this article; he really was a beloved announcer. He was such an easy going guy with a great announcing voice and so many interesting stories, but he never made anything about him. It was always about the game. RIP, Joe.

Wmcmanus 894 Report post Posted March 24, 2016 Ken also portrayed Santa Claus in a 2008 Coca-Cola commercial. I know this only because I have about 1,000 Santa "friends" (most of whom I'll never meet) on Facebook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
