Just for fun...have you ever thought about how you'd call a game from Wilkerson's seat?
I could not do it.
I would be making Earl Weaver blush.
Have your head on a swivel on the teeter-totter...yeah, no.
I would certainly get myself in trouble later in the game after pounding beers throughout.
So let me get this straight...if you were JW...you'd bring your own beer, ya know, cause only the people on the porch and the clubhouse have beer...so you are on the mic, cracking open beers, eatin' hot dogs AND calling the game???
You are hired. I nominate txbo(comes up "taboo" w. spell check) and Old Timer to pay your moving expenses.
As part of the job, you have to punch this intern in the face...j/k...maybe...no, don't do it, his dad will sue.

Happy to move to K town for that gig. I grew up listening to Mike Shannon calling Cardinals games with Jack Buck and cracking Buds and hammered by the end of the game, so I think I could pull it off.
