Last night I made my radio broadcast debut. The private school where I work is holding its annual benefit dinner next week. We have asked Jim Morris to be our speaker. Morris’ story was retold in the Disney movie “The Rookie.” At 35 years old, he signed a major league contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Tampa Bay’s AA farm team plays here in the city so I had a chance to talk about the event during the game last night. Being in the radio booth was fascinating. The announcer had his laptop at the desk with 3-4 browser windows open. He would call the pitches and then use the internet to announce game scores or small facts about the players. He also had two stat books open and update the stats mid-game. One time a player stole second base. He picked up the book called the 1-1 pitch and then talked about how that player had only stolen 2 bases in his whole career. The man needed four arms to complete his braodcast. It was alot of fun. At the beginning of my interview, the announcer thought I had said “Jim Morrison” instead of “Jim Morris.” I quickly recovered by assuring him that it wasn’t the Lizard King who was speaking but the baseball player.
