mowerman Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 probably wasnt big news in the east coast but he was better known out here,,for broadcasting san diego padres games on the radio,,,we could pull it in from reno,,,the mighty double X 970 AM,,,was quite a guy,,,fought in 2 wars,,played for the yankees,,,then did radio broadcasting for years...too bad they never handed him a nobel peace prize,,,for being an all american boy,,,and cheerfully saluting his own american flag ,,,,actually worthy of it.....of coarse thats just my 2 cents..bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Never knew of him,Bob. Sounds like our kind of people,though. Sad to see our heroes go. At least you have a bunch of good memories listening to him. Sorry. Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
