Iâve lived many lifetimes in my 14+ years in NYC, and I felt most like a New Yorker when Iâd move my car for street sweeping, turn on a Yankees game on radio and get John Sterlingâs voice bursting out of my rolled-down windows. His calls and stories were the soundtrack of summer in the city. RIP.

It's Feb. 21 and these two Blue Jays announcers are calling and analyzing this game like it's an August nailbiter. Lack of colour. Take a couple pitches off and tell a story. Buck Martinez, Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth were in tune with the rhythm of baseball. These two today are tight and nerdy.

During the 1960s, all technological advances were reserved for napalm, moon rockets and miniskirts. Which left nothing for anything else, including stadium concerts. Beatles, 1966, Crosley Field, Cincinnati, like it was a village fair.
