Mine was my father, on Saturday we would watch the Game of the Week which seemed to always be Yankees with Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reece behind the mic. Dizzy would always sat to Pee Wee "Well Pardner" and I was thus hooked on Mickey. In Basketball, growing up in upstate NY with cable not invented yet, We would get like 8 channels, 3 of which were Canadian, one English the other French, but Channel 8 was out of Poland Springs Maine and they would carry the Red Soxs and Celtics. So like you, Russell, Satch, KC and Sam, Larry Siegfreid, Hondo, Silas and the likes became my team. Like normal TV back then on an antenna you sometimes got a good picture with no or little audio, so I would turn the radio on and the TV volume down and listen to Johnny Most, Priceless....
