Aw geez, thanks Wayne. Though I don't post here much anymore (posting just seems like work anymore) you guys have a very special place in my heart. We knew the glory days of this hobby. Quote

Hopstretch Posted March 17, 2016 Report Posted March 17, 2016 Tyll, this is just a random thought, but have you ever thought of writing a piece on the Genesis of the hobby. You are the only person who could do it justice. 1 Quote
Tyll Hertsens Posted March 17, 2016 Report Posted March 17, 2016 Hm. I'll think about it, Stretch. It's a looooooong time ago now. But I've still got a lot of photos from the early days. Quote

Wmcmanus Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Joe Garagiola, beloved baseball announcer, dies at 90: http://wgntv.com/2016/03/23/joe-garagiola-beloved-baseball-announcer-dies-at-90/ Well written title to this article; he really was a beloved announcer. He was such an easy going guy with a great announcing voice and so many interesting stories, but he never made anything about him. It was always about the game. RIP, Joe.

Wmcmanus Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Posted March 24, 2016 Ken also portrayed Santa Claus in a 2008 Coca-Cola commercial. I know this only because I have about 1,000 Santa "friends" (most of whom I'll never meet)Â on Facebook. Â Quote
