WOW Patrick you hit the ball out of the park with your selection of announcers! Loved the read about them all. I have a lot of the same memories growing up in Wichita KS listening to Cardinals baseball and later KC Royals. Fun fact, I happened to throw a no hitter the evening of the 1989 earthquake in SF. I was playing for a SF Giants team in a over 30 League in Orlando, it was too much fun...

I noticed I am free subscriber, are you looking to take this to paid subscription at some point? Or just sharing your memories & thoughts? I believe your a very good writer and have enjoyed the articles I've read. I did have some trouble trying to set up a login or account, so just gave up.

Thank you for the compliments, Ed. That's crazy about your no-hitter- it's almost like the universe wanted to make sure you never forgot about it! (As if you ever would.)

As far as subscriptions go, I'd obviously love to get paid to write about baseball at some point, and if this thing ever really takes off, maybe we'll eventually turn on paid subs. For now, however, I'm just happy that I'm getting to write about baseball and people are reading it. Maybe not tens of thousands of people (yet), but enough that I don't feel like I'm screaming into the void, which is nice. Although I enjoy doing it and would probably still do it if only 10 people were reading.

Thanks for being one of those readers, Ed, and for posting your feedback in the comments. That's one thing I do wish- that more of the people reading would post their thoughts in the comments. I'm not complaining. I get that people's time is valuable and commenting isn't everyone's thing- believe me, I'm just happy they're reading- but it's always fun to get a conversation going.

Skip and Harry Caray bring back so many great memories of my early baseball fandom. Wish I could have heard more of Vin Scully. I remember his WS and ASG calls and they were great.
