[Mr. Mojo]

I must've missed that time, 'cause the game I was referring to was in the early 80's. Oh well, I guess Chick needed a new fridge every decade or so.

I guess Chick needed a new fridge every decade or so.

He would have needed a new one to start the coming season, had he lived, believe it...or not. One of the Los Angeles radio stations this afternoon replayed Chick Hearn's call of the final five minutes of the final game in the Laker sweep of the New Jersey Nets. The game came down to the Lakers holding a fat enough lead in the final minute...and Chick forgot to put the game and the season in the refrigerator! I'm willing to bet a few people couldn't wait to point it out to him...and that he probably had a good laugh over it.
