Ralph, I had a good job that I liked so I wasn’t really interested in changing. I was asked by a friend that was a coach at the high where I lived if I would call a couple of baseball/softball games for the local radio station because there regular guy was out sick. I ended up doing a dozen or so games and really enjoyed it. If I had been in my early twenties I would have loved to do it as a full time job. The station and the coaches must have liked me because I finished the season after the other guy got well. It was very easy to tell by listening to your broadcasts that you were not only good but you put in the time to know all of the details for each and every broadcast no matter the teams the Stars were playing. It really gives us a insight to Ralphie Strangis.
