the sound of my childhood summers


the Mets game is on Fox today, with Tim McCarver providing the color-- except in the third inning, when he switched over to play-by-play to share the booth with Ralph Kiner, after whom that very booth has been named. McCarver and Kiner covered the Mets together for 16 years, over the vast majority of my childhood, including the World Series win in '86. they were a fantastic broadcast team, and it was a real pleasure to listen to them talk baseball again this afternoon, if only for an inning.
