“Now I may have to listen to game 5.”
I can remember pulling my tabletop radio into bed with me under the covers as a kid and listening to the play by play of the iconic Red Wings production line - Able, Lindsey and Howe. When the crowd would roar, my mom would hear it and take the radio out the room and tell me to go to sleep. In a way that radio play by play was almost as vivid as TV in my mind’s eye when delivered by Budd Lynch.
Cool story!
