2013: Event announcing on 89.7 FM . . .

You might want to check that frequency - I heard from Jon that Miriam said it was 88.9.

That's what I got from Manghelli; I guess we'll found out soon enough. Either way, event announcing will be on a public FM frequency.

I'm sure I feel like a Yankees fan when Red Barber was unceremoniously dumped from the broadcast booth in 1966.

But Glen, if that analogy holds true, your best work may still be in front of you.

I agree... it's just not the same without Glen!

I have a video from the push truck when I got in the 2 club where you can hear Glen announce us leaving, our speeds, and that we got the record...  after all those years of listening in, only the red hat is cherished more than that recording of Glen telling us to "go to impound!"

We miss you buddy!
