I was glad to be asked to call baseball today in New Haven, as Yale hosted Columbia for a doubleheader.
The numbers are pretty crazy:
Two games...23 innings (the first went 13, and the second went 10). The first game took nearly 4.5 hours. The second game took three and a quarter hours. Yes, I was on the air -- alone -- for close to eight hours. I could count the pitching changes, missed opportunities, hits, strikeouts, pitches, and add it all up, but nah. You get the point.
My friend Eric Scholl was on the PA. I sat on the other side of the press box talking my little heart away.
The recaps from Yale are here.
After an early rush of nerves (strange press box and people I don't know), I found a groove. I started being, well, me. Not having a partner didn't bother me at all, but given the way I roll, I made my way home in total silence.
I'll leave you with the broadcasts.
