Since when does Joe Robbie Stadium have a roof? Oh, also, Merry Christmas!

Very sorry to hear about the death of WXRT Chicago’s Lin Brehmer. We never met, but we were in Yak-Zies at the same time on a number of opening days, and his voice was often in my car and home. And, he once replied to a tweet with a good anecdote about Harry Caray.

That Alan Hamari sure is a solid guy — look at what came from him in the mail today.

Was SoxNerd running the board that day?

I’ve done the research on this so you don’t have to. This is either Sept. 26, 1983 (attendance 3,137), Sept. 27 (6,593), or Sept. 28 (7,680). Whichever day you choose, plenty of good seats were available.

These #mnf uniforms would have played well in the days of black-and-white TV.

Craig Counsell should move to Kenosha.

By way of Alan Hamari (thanks for sharing this, Al) there’s a Jeff Cesario tease after this magnificent performance by Darlene Love. (Proving there’s a Kenosha connection to be found in most things.) Merry Christmas, everybody! m.youtube.com/watch?v=JBoSz6…

This #SuperBowl telecast needs more Taylor cutaways.

Of all the Charlie Browns in the NFL, this one was the Charlie Browniest.

With Jazz and Conversation from the foot of Mt Belzoni. (In reality - it was established in Chicago by Zenith to provide programming to Zenith radios. The Tribune took over programming and folded it into WGN)

Little insider text between me and Ueck here. I had just gotten ran over at the plate during a game against the Astros when I was on the Angels. He reached out to me to check in and gave me a typical Ueck response lol

This HAS to be a first: The Cubs had a runner thrown out at home plate as he tried to score on a wild pitch for out No.1 then had TWO runners picked off first base, all in the same inning. And they scored 3 runs.

The real winner(s) in a Cubs/Brewers playoff series?

THE Big Ten Conference FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SHOULD ROTATE AMONG THE OPEN AIR NFL STADIUMS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST — CHICAGO, GREEN BAY AND CLEVELAND. AND ALSO MAYBE WRIGLEY FIELD WHEN ITS REJIGGERED FOR NORTHWESTERN FOOTBALL.
