    Nice Bill White card. He was an excellent player and broadcaster.

    Bill White. One of my favorite Broadcasters: “Deep to Left, Yaz is not going to get it ,it’s a HR! A 3 run HR for Bucky Dent!!”

    How fondly I remember the late 70's at Comiskey Park, when Jimmy Piersall was hired as color announcer to compliment Harry Caray. The White Sox team (in Bill Veeck's final years of ownership) was pretty rag-tag, not helped by their ridiculous, pajama-style uniforms, designed by Mary Frances Veeck (Mrs. Bill...so no player complaints were allowed). It was under these circumstances that Caray and Piersall created a sensation as a broadcasting team; their collective knowledge and insight (Piersall especially) being superseded only by their sophomoric, outrageous humor. The atmosphere at the games was electric..due much more to Caray and Piersall than to the team on the field. When criticizing players or managerial decisions, Piersall would often say: "He's crazy.....but so am I, and I've got the papers to prove it!" But he really knew the game, and never failed to enlighten the fans with his observations and experience. (Ps: when Caray went to the Cubs and became super-popular in town, he was a pale shadow of himself in comparison to his years with the White Sox, where he was a major part of the Veeck-era goofiness).

    Dr. Strangelove yes. I thought I also heard that his nickname was “Clang” but maybe that was someone else. Have a good one!
