We're getting the Twins radio call in the press box -- another source of childhood bliss (HEY, IS THERE A LAW AGAINST BEING HAPPY? NOT IN BHUTAN, THERE'S NOT.)
When we moved to Florida from Connecticut in the early 1970s, there of course were no big-league teams in Florida (insert Rays-Marlins joke here).
Some of the area radio stations carried teams on the weekend, so we occasionally got Bob Prince doing the Pirates on Sundays. That was a treat.
But "The Gunner" couldn't match the hilarity of White Sox announcers Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall.
Which reminds me -- if you've never seen "Fear Strikes Out," the movie about the life of Piersall -- you've never seen a baseball movie, in my opinion.
