I guess a lot of you fans and Net54 members enjoy playing with Velcro, but do the rest of us enjoy watching the ritual a hundred or more times in a game. I don’t think so.
Did you ever get the chance to see Mike Hargrove play? He didn't get dubbed with the nickname "the Human Rain Delay" for naught.

Here you go. The announcer's comments are golden!

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...BC55&FORM=VIRE

If you listen till near the end of the video, not sure if that is Vin Scully or not, but the one announcer notes how Hargrove was once timed at 7-1/2 minutes for just one at bat against Jim Palmer. Think about that. If he had four similar at bats in one game, that is an entire half hour of the game just for Hargrove batting.

Top that!

That was Bob Costas. Yes, I remember all of that too. Good riddance to those antics!

Thanks, don't know why, but I kept thinking he sounded like Scully to me.
