That sounds right. I spent a lot of summer evenings on the front porch with my papaw and his radio, listening to the Reds in the mid/late 70s when we visited. But I recall few televised games then.
Naw. It’s on like the CW network or somsthing maybe? This was years ago so I’m trying lol. It was like a computer generated thing.
Maybe a frog in a tuxedo dancing and playing an instrument? That’s stuck in my head for some reason. lol.
It’s gonna drive me nuts. It’s really not that funny or a big deal but just something I remmeber.
Maybe?
I think that was it. Hopefully it works. Been a minute.
Did you see it? I posted a link. I think that’s it. Like I said, been a minute. I just remmeber always seeing it on Chicago broadcast games. Even when I went to other cities with my parents and watched a game I saw it if it was a Chicago game.
I thought about that one, it's from Warner Brothers cartoons. I loved that one as a kid.
I “think” that was it. I think it had a real cheesy voice too. Regardless, it’s ingrained in my childhood memories apparently. lol.
The original voice was kind of deep and I remember him singing "Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal"
Lmao. If you say so but that sounds about right. Oh Lordy.
So it looks like WGN was an affiliate of Warner Brothers Television, and they used the frog in promotions. Michigan J Frog. I learned something today.
I’m a Reds and Bengals fan of 40+ years.
It’s very common to give up on Cincy sports teams early in the season, usually for good reason.
Bengals have been cooked before mid October many times. With the Reds, I follow closely until they’re out of contention. That means pre Memorial Day most years since 1995. Lol
I get it. Just don’t hype them up and constantly **** on them afterwords if you know what’s going to happen.
Does he like sports? I always pictured him as the kid who went to the basketball game and dreamed about being the announcer.
Stop. You're making too much sense lol. I guess no one else does this with friends? I can't tell you how many times I've told friends I love football one weekend and I hate it and it's stupid the next. It's hyperbole to get a chuckle out of them.
