It's fun being a pretend radio announcer in my pretend baseball world  |
In the 1950s I used to do the play-by-play myself using The Game of the Week on TV... Dizzy Dean, Buddy Blattner and Pee Wee Reese were the broadcast team... Buddy was first I think, then Pee Wee replaced him.
I would turn the sound off and do the PBP... I would also create a weird noise that my relatives wondered about. It was the crowd cheering.
Yeah, buddy... EC wanted to be a sportscaster like Gordon McLendon, Lindsey Nelson, Bill Stern, Mel Allen and Old Diz... never made it, but I did become a DJ for 32 years.
Yep, EC is a sicko... On the OOTP Dynasty Forum I've been covering my mythical Islandian Pro Alliance for over 20 years... Actually it is no longer a work of love... I have mixed emotions about the IPA... It is now a mixture of love and lots of work. I still have 15 seasons to go to reach the 100-season mark.
That's my goal.
EC is still a DJ at heart... I'm back on the air after 21 years of retirement on a small Southern Gospel station (Sound Radio). You can hear it Sunday afternoon on the internet from 1 pm to 3 pm Central time.
Yeah, buddy, this is shameful self-promotion.
I need listeners real bad.
"Mixed Emotions".... defined as "the feeling you get when you see your 267-and-one-half-pound mean mother-in-law drive over a high cliff in your brand-spanking new Lincoln Continental".
Yep, that's the kind of corny stuff I used... and yep, it worked pretty darn good.

EC welcomes and would appreciate your critical review.
I know what professional radio broadcasters think about my program, but it would be nice to know what "down-to-earth folks and average people think".
Uh Oh!
All of you lovable and sometimes irascible OOTP folks are all above average!
