I was on MASN yelling "Go Nats!!!"
« on: August 15, 2014, 06:43:07 pm »
Yesterday, a fellow with a big camera and a press badge spotted my Livo shirt, with curly-W and away hat, and asked me to point to the curly-W and shout "Go Nats!" four times for an intro to MASN. They cut part of my intro, which was to shout "Mickey Vernon" and "Roy Sievers", but my sister-in-law saw the "Go Nats!" cheer about 11 minutes into the broadcast.

Wow!

I'm now one of the faces and voices of all Nats fans who suffered through the '50s and '60s and then the awful "33 year road trip".

Senators' fans are loyal to our team. Absolutely. Eddie Yost, Harmon Killebrew, Ken McMullen, Ryan Zimmerman, Anthony Rendon. Ah, to have a combination third baseman who has Yost's batting eye (.394 lifetime OBP across 18 seasons), hits like Killebrew (the baseball had a dent after Harmon connected), fields like McMullen and Zimmerman, hits in the clutch like Zim, and has a swing and a throw like Rendon!

Ah, to be about six games above that Braves team accidentally playing in Atlanta!!! (Without Warren Spahn, Eddie Matthews, Del Crandell, and the amazing Henry Aaron, the Braves are just a collection of empty uniforms.)

If you were the older bald gentleman, let me congratulate you on the fact that the Mets fans standing behind you looked VERY annoyed...and this was before all the home runs!

I have a short beard, white, and I'm bald...which you see if I take off my hat. Gentleman??? Well...Do wish I had turned around to honor Livo, but had no idea why this guy wanted to point a camera at me.

I was watching that and I swear I thought, "That may be 'welch'".       Well done sir.

Mitlen's been on a week long bender and is just now trying to get the fog out of his brain.  It figures though he'd resurface for the Pirates series.    :roll:

I discovered last night that going to a game where you have split loyalties with teams that both need the win in a pennant race is kinda like meeting both your wife and your girlfriend at a bar....
