A belated apology to Scott Franzke and Larry Anderson

Sorry, guys.

Dear Scott & Larry:

Several months ago, you were in the middle of a standard broadcast from the radio booth in Citizens Bank Park. You were safe up there; not only from the late September cold front, but from whatever subhuman miscreants would actually attend a game in which a long-eliminated Phillies team was playing the first nine of the season's final 18 innings. There was essentially no reason for the stadium to be anything but empty, making your job to convey the images of the meaningless Phillies-Marlins contest to fans across the valley all the simpler.
