One afternoon game, the Cubs were ahead late, and the opposing team had the bases full. The ball was popped up and a little used utility infielder for the Cubs circled under it and lost it due to the sun. The Cubs lost. Harry Carey was just beside himself. He just kept mumbling over and over ......."How does a guy from Mexico lose a ball in the sun" for the last two innings. Loved it.

FatDaddy,

Very funny.However, they must have stole that from Soupy Sales who on his show in the early '60's said that ,"he took his wife to the baseball game the other day.I would kiss her on the strikes,& she would kiss me between the balls".

Don't know why I remember that but I do.Good old Soupy probably stole it from someone else.

I always think it is humorous when any announcer declares that a player needs to go to the bench for a "blow". Of course, they are referring to a break, or a breather, but the visual image of a troup of BJ girls sitting on the bench wearing bikinis always enters my mind. That would sure make it difficult to play, lol. I guess you'd be getting out of breath on purpose pretty often.

It's the next day and I thought someone
"I thought all you guys did was sports"
would figure out who the Hell I was talking about!!:shrug:
Remember were talking about announcers (duh)

Blitz where are you?
I'm sure you can figure this one out.
