Following up to my own post, the death of Bob Shaw made me think about Nellie King's passing a month ago at 82.

Since you're both a baseball fan and a broadcaster, BluesDuke, you might find it interesting that I always thought of Nellie as the "new guy" in the booth with Bob Prince. Of course, to me even Prince seemed like the newbie since Rosey Rowswell was the play-by-play guy I associated with the Pirates.

Open the window, Aunt Minnie...

RIP Nellie King, too-—I must have missed that one. I used to be able to hear Pirate games on the radio even on Long Island, since if the currents blew right and you had a shortwave band on your set (we did), you could pick up good out of town stuff. They were quite a pair, Prince and King . . .
