Barb’s Burblings

Most baseball telecasts are pretty standard. One of the things I enjoy about baseball is that it’s very comforting; it has a nice rhythm. But every now and then something pretty amusing happens during a game–for example, when the sprinklers went off in the middle of a Mets game and Pedro just sort of stood there, amused. Or when a squirrel started running around the infield during an Indians-Yankees game. There was a great one the other night. The O’s were in Kansas City and it was pretty windy. And…O’s announcer Gary Thorne’s game notes went flying out of the broadcasting booth. It was pretty darn amusing. And yes, someone nice did bring them back. The moral of the story for Gary was to always make sure your name is on your game notes.
