To Roger Shuy: Nice to read your comment above. You sound nearly a decade older but we both date back to roughly the same period. My one and only World Series game was the fifth one in 1948 (Feller lost). I too ended up in college teaching, in my case at U. Maryland. I retired to Sarasota where, like you, I try to follow my beloved Indians too. That is one reason I enjoy Stephanie’s blog so much. I’ll be sure to follow your comments here during the season. We both remember Jack Graney’s voice. How wonderful…

I too have fond memories of sitting around our family console radio (the size of a small chest of drawers) listening to Jack Graney’s recreations of away games every summer of my childhood in Akron. My father and I would listen together while he taught me how to keep score, using his his own method (for example, SO for strikeout, not K). We did this together all through my elementary and high school days, from 1936 to 1948. I moved away from Akron after high school and lived in Illinois, Michigan, and Washington DC until I retired from teaching at Georgetown and moved to Missoula, Montana, where I still follow my beloved Indians as best I can. But the really great days were the times when Jack Graney made me a true baseball fan, for which I am forever grateful.

Your mention of Jack Graney brings back warm and youthful memories to this now-72 Floridian. Brought up in Shaker Heights, my Dad and I would sit in the back porch many many many nights listening to Jimmy Dudley and Jack Graney. I still think they were the best announcing team ever (although Vin Scully alone is really the best announcing team ever). Later my Dad introduced me to bridge on the back porch listening to the Dudley/Graney Tribe games with the summer sound of crickets. Often we would invite close neighborhood friends over for bridge and Tribe games on radio. I wish I could hear one more time Dudley’s closing tag line: “Lotsa good luck, ya hear.”
