Today: thrilled to be on the mic as Kershaw makes a rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City against the Isotopes.

All A’s

It's known as the "Bucky f&%*ing Dent Game" and it's one of the most famous in baseball history.

For the latest "Crafting the Call," @jgoldstrass.bsky.social and I re-examined the game from a broadcasting standpoint with clips from ABC TV, #RedSox radio and #Yankees radio.

Once got Donnie Hill's autograph at the #WhiteSox team hotel as a kid.

My friend Joe told him, "I cried when the A's traded you."

Donnie said, "so did I."

"Scribbled Notes on a Cocktail Napkin" is my weekly feature, a tribute to the sports columnists I grew up reading who penned Herb Caen-inspired three dot columns.

The week: Gene Hackman was terrific, but "Coach Dale" was terrible, the #Yankees losing tradition & Babe Ruth's surreal no-hitter.

If one of the rows is Hall of Famers, might as well go for 9 of ‘em.
