Couple of years ago we had a power outage during the world series.
So it was my wife, the cats, and I curled up on the couch with a pocket radio listening to the game by the light of an electric lantern.
It's hard to express what a wonderful experience that was. The national broadcast call (ESPN I think) was very good. I'm just not a great fan of my teams current radio team, but this was a really good call. Sitting in the dark was just icing on the cake that helped us focus on the game.
- gz5 4y agoI feel like the radio experience is a 'you'll only know it when you see (hear) it' type thing. A great radio team makes a huge difference. Was lucky enough to grow up with the Mets announcers of the 80s (Bob Murphy, Gary Cohen, Gary Thorne). Spent many nights (long after my official bedtime) with my clock radio (smuggled under my covers) delivering magic.
