I must tell a true story about a local announcer for the Minnesota Twins. His name is Halsey Hall:
During a home game, Halsey Hall was doing the color play for the game over the radio. The press box was at the top of the stadium, so Halsey was noticing a young couple with other interests seated just a few rows down from the press box. Every so often, he would make a comment about the amorous couple and continue with his attention focused on the game.
After several innings and much smooching going on with the couple, Halsey finally said over the WCCO broadcast, “I finally figured out the couple’s activity! It appears he kisses her on the strikes, and she kisses him on the balls!”
This was before the 7-1/2 second delay, so it was recorded for posterity, and I heard the actual broadcast…
