I admit that I'm a member of Red Sox Nation also, and I live in NY. I thought that the Orsillo/Remy pairing was the best in the business, and while I admit my bias, I have DirecTV and XM in the car, so I hear just about everyone out there, and really can be somewhat impartial. Sims (who was a broadcaster for WFAN radio here in NY years ago) and Rizz are also very good. Vin Scully is the king! He will be missed more than he realizes. I enjoy Pat Hughes for the Cubs. I like Cohn/Darling/Hernandez with the Mets (except when Keith starts talking about the uniforms! LOL!) The Blue Jays broadcast team is also very good: Buck Martinez, Pat Tabler, Gregg Zaun, and radio guy Jerry Howarth. I remember when Tommy Hutton and Hank Greenwald broadcast the Yankee games on radio, I used to listen to them all the time (before XM!) because I thought they were fair and really good! I can't listen to Suzyn Waldman and John Sterling, although I think that Ken Harrelson is even worse for the ChiXSox...Also like Jon Miller of Giants and for years was the lead broadcaster on Sunday Night Baseball with Joe Morgan, and Charley Steiner now of the Dodgers but prior to that was broadcasting for the NY Yankees, and also has done stints on XM and ESPN. I hope Don Orsillo is well-received in San Diego, he will be sorely missed in Red Sox Nation...a NESN executive did him wrong!

I've been delinquent to post this, my bad! Anyway, here it is...thanks to Boddie for suggesting that I post this! A sincere debt of gratitude to Andrew Zuckerman for this, it means more to me than you could possibly imagine... Rollie

Hehehe...welcome to the great NorthEast! Nice Memorial Day/Monday, we'll see how long this lasts....

If you're coming up next week you can plan for it to be that way...

For Umpires (or anyone else, for that matter) coming for the early weeks to Cooperstown, just a heads-up: the weather here has been fairly cool and wet, a bit of rain often. If you were here last year week #2 you will remember how cold and rainy it was, the word to the wise is come prepared. I live about 2 hours from CDP, it has not been very warm yet this spring, and we've had quite a bit of rain.

Jesse was a great umpire, a wonderful colleague...He never had a bad word for anyone. He called it as he saw it. I respected his opinion and valued his input. I was honored to count him as a friend. Rest in peace, my friend...
