I grew up in Los Angeles. My baseball announcers were Vin Scully on the Dodgers and Dick Enberg calling the Angels.
When I moved to Chicago, my baseball announcers were Harry Caray on the Cubs and Hawk Harrelson on the White Sox.
Yeah, that was a change. That was different. I wasn’t used to hearing play-by-play from someone whose baseball card I once collected. I thought, is this serious?
No, it wasn’t serious. It was fun. Hawk and Wimpy were a show. Hawk and Tom “Wimpy’’ Paciorek could’ve done it from a tavern.
