So sounds like Kenesaw Mountain would have loved the Hawk. On April 19, 1927, Tyson called his first Detroit Tigers game, inaugurating the first full season of radio broadcasts for a Major League Baseball team. He quickly became a popular figure with the team's fanbase. When the Tigers reached the World Series in 1934, baseball's then-commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, barred Tyson from appearing on any of the network radio coverage, citing the risk of partiality in his commentary. After Tiger fans sent more than 600,000 letters of protest, Landis compromised by allowing Tyson to announce the Series locally on WWJ. Tyson went on to call the 1935 Series (which involved the Tigers, and ended in their first-ever world championship) and the 1936 Series nationally for NBC, and broadcast the 1941 All-Star Game (played at Detroit's Briggs Stadium) for WWJ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ty_Tyson

Crazy…

It’s starting to grow on me.

This is the both sidezen we can all agree on.

Ok Jack Morris, careful! 😄

Harris made the mistake to assume Erod would wave the NTC and did not continue working the phones just in case this deal collapased the way it did.

Ooops Shep got caught throwing the chair!

Agreed, he looks like he is on the struggle bus. Hope he turns it around.

Pacheco looks cooked.

I enjoy all of his styles of music. Lady May, Detroit and Triune God are always on my play list.

Jeimer debate is pointless.......

My local minor league baseball team used to be the Fort Wayne Wizards. Once the Washington Bullets changed their name to the Wizards they pulled our Name and logo. We are now the Fort Wayne Tincaps since Johny Apple seed is from here. It's fine and accepted now but there was a bit of an uproar at the time.

Yeah he was going to take care of some young punk by going to get his Click-Clak.

Ummm never had a line like this for training camp before.

Add to Romas1’s post.

The boys in the booth mentioned Hal Newhouser having his numbered retired in history today. Found this little tid bit I didn’t know. After his retirement from baseball, Newhouser stepped away from the sport for 20 years, serving as a bank vice president. He later worked as a scout for several MLB teams, including the Houston Astros. Angered when they rebuffed his recommendation to draft future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter in favor of Phil Nevin, he quit shortly after.
