Growing up on Niehaus, Enberg, and Drysdale doing the Angels, it was like being 13 all over again hearing Mr. Niehaus paint a beautiful vibrant aural picture every summer. Upon his untimely passing, it was kinda neat that some old friends returned to help the M's out with broadcasting chores, you and Ken Wilson being 2 of them. Really enjoy your work. Of course, I dug you when you were Beaver Cleaver with that great TOH Id on Ten Q back in the day.
