I watched the Pine Tar game live. I really thought Brett would hurt someone. The days of WPIX, Bill White, Frank Messer and the Scooter. Whole innings filled with tales of Phil Rizzuto and the traffic on the Jersey Turnpike. Bill White interviewing Al Kaline during a rain delay and White wondering why Al hadn’t been elected to the Hall of Fame. Of course he had already. Kaline was cool. “Well, I hope to get in next year “

Rizzuto’s score card had the notation “WW” all over it WW = wasn’t watching

That toothpick thing was unreal, that muthafucka used to steal bases with that toothpick hanging out of his mouth! It used to freak me out, I was always worried he would choke on the thing, but it was never an issue.
He would make a tough play at shortstop, and you'd see the toothpick just hanging there.

tristramshandy actually that's classically trained tv sports announcing that trust the viewer isn't blind that was guided by the idea: if the camera can see it, there's no need to say it. and agree, they were great! It's perfect for baseball - - wish there were more combos like those two! We also got the Mets on WOR. Lindsey Nelson, Bob Nelson and Ralph Kiner. Kiner made Rizzuto look professional. Other than the current Yankee announcers, John Sterling and that shrilly creature Suzie Waldman, Kiner was the worst announcer. He referred to the Braves as the Boston Braves (not even Milwaukee!). A few other Kiner gems...
"Hi, welcome to Kiner's Korner. I'm ... ummm...ummm" "And it's Father's Day. To all you fathers listening, Happy Birthday" "All of his saves have come in relief appearances" "The mets have got their leadoff batter on base only once this inning" "Solo home runs usually occur with no one on base" (usually yet)
Not sure in Ralph was trying to be Yogi Berra or was eating too many lead paint chips

West Coast had their own Kiner - - Jerry Coleman. "There's someone warming up in the bullpen, but he's obscured by his number." "He slides into second with a stand up double." "Enos Cabell started out here with the Astros and before that he was with the Orioles." "He (Graig Nettles) leaped up to make one of those diving stops only he can make." "(Willie) McCovey swings and misses, and it's fouled back." "Rich Folkers is throwing up in the bullpen." "Gaylord Perry and Willie McCovey should know each other like a book. They've been ex-teammates for years now."

They both talked like Berra, who got some of it from Casey Stengel

I remember ol' U.L., the oddest combo of letters for a shortened name ever. I believe his cousin X.V Washington and his uncle, I.I. Washington played minor league ball.

Opposite for me, but I also hated the Yankees then. Rizzuto especially. What a huckleberry.
