I listened to this one a couple months ago

Wow, amazing how much comfort it gives me to listen to these two call a game. Even the commercials and the promos put a smile on my face. Not to mention, Marty's use of "we" and "us."
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"

Really neat to hear Joe again. It's been a while.
And more in his prime than I ever heard him. I didn't start listening until the mid 1980s.
And Marty... It's actually staggering to hear the difference.
I'm going to have to look for more of these. Kind of unexpected how interesting they are to me.

"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me." Roy Tucker October 2010
Thanks for the share!
