I still haven't forgotten about when David did a segment about borish behavior and recounted the then current news cycle air rage incident of the infamous airline passenger Gerard Finneran. Of course, David treated the matter in a professional manner for the most part. However, he did have a very dr...

Chris from Livonia asking for Norm Cash stories. As if we haven't heard them all.

The best ones are the stories that haven't been told and in which Ron wouldn't know.

The downfall of sparkly Anderson was Howard Johnson

Actually, I thought it was when Roger Craig left to take the Giants job.

I remember the time Ron went into a Beckmann rant when Ernie was the guest on a Friday WPON show. Ernie response was quite interesting. What was Ernie's response? After Ron went on his rant about Beckmann, Ernie said “Ron, situations in life happen for a reason. The good Lord just had another adven...

A Beckmann reference elicits an “Oh, Gawd” from Ron.

Warden was aces with Ron until he criticized the umpires.

It doesn't matter for guests. Northrup use to rip on umpires periodically as well.

Watson Spoelstra was another good friend of Ron. They embraced in Birmingham. Ron's going to get his grandson Erik's number & put him on the show. Actually, Ron probably crossed paths with old Waddy Spoelstra at the ballpark and downtown quite a bit. Of course, Ron's definition of a "friend" is dif...

With Ron, it will probably be the jumping off point to something else. For example, Roger Craig was the pitching coach for the '84 Tigers. One of the players on that team was Howard Johnson, who I think Ron roomed with or treated to a meal or gave a ride to or from the airport. That will lead to st...

Ron & Gadsby went to dinner all the time. Sure. Gadsby was a frequent guest. He even use to appear on the Friday WPON show. Approximately when would that have been? In all the years I’ve been listening - at least starting in the ‘10s - the only Friday guest he had was - once - Lincoln Cavalieri. Ca...

Like Lance, Les did a "good job."

Les was good indeed.

Momo:
Your takes on Buzzboard often make my weekend, good work yesterday and today as usual.

You were wrong about Ted Willliams but so was Ron with the 1000 HR nonsense.

How about the odds that Ron and a caller can both be wrong like earlier with the Ted Williams call?

Ron's story about $120 a week was wrong. Well, the original decision from the Michigan Bureau of Workmen's Comp. was that Les Cain would receive $111 a week from the Detroit Tigers for the rest of his life. At the time they made that ruling it received a little ink in the Detroit newspapers. Howeve...

That would be Rob, not Ken but thanks for the compliment. Well, both the caller Rob and Ron are wrong. Ted Williams wouldn't have hit 1000 HR's because that is simply unrealistic as is Ron's tendency. However, Ted basically missed 5 years to the military. He did not play at all in 1943-1945 because...
