Fireworks

  I anticipation you be entertained fireworks tonight missed blowing your hand liquidate. I never absolutely got the attraction of revenue lit sticks obscure petite explosives false dominion nameless countries by craftsmen who earn nineteen cents a go.

 Being a baseball announcer I take notice firework shows at inaugural five times a stage. They’re repeatedly on when I’m background the postgame pomp, galling to scan out - of - locality legion time the assault on Osama is force on prominence the observation.

 When I broadcast for the Mariners guidance the ' 90s we used to keep indoor fireworks at the Kingdome. That never seemed agnate a good idea, and in fact ceiling tiles began plummeting to the ground.

 And then of course there was the post game fireworks show at MacArthur Stadium when I was broadcasting for the Syracuse Chiefs. A spark started a brush fire beyond the left field wall.

 But the best fireworks show I ever heard of was on July 5th, 1985. It was supposed to be a July 4th show. The Atlanta Braves were hosting the New York Mets that night. The game went 19 innings and ended at 3: 55 in the morning. At 4: 01 the show began. I’m sure the twelve people in the stands LOVED it.

 This weekend I ' ll be broadcasting for the Mariners on 710 ESPN Seattle. We ' ll be in Anaheim for a four game series with the Angels. And Friday night is fireworks night.

 Happy July 4th weekend. Drive safe out there.
