August 16, 1996. MLB held its first game in Mexico at Estadio Monterrey. Fernando Valenzuela started for the Padres AND threw out the first pitch. He went 6 innings, gave up 3 runs and struck out 3. The Padres won 15-10 and Valenzuela got the win. RIP to an absolute legend.

Covering Mike Leach was funny because he’d refuse to offer anything worthwhile about his team one minute, then give a thorough account of life with a pet raccoon the next. There is no mind like his, and I’m praying we get to enjoy his musings again soon.

No words spoken for 50 seconds. Nothing you can say is better than the sound of that scene. Mud waited for the director to tell him when to chime in (by calling up the replay). This is a clinic. 👏🏼.
This was a beautiful piece of hitting from Luis Arraez . but this was a broadcasting masterclass. Excitement and restraint from Don Orsillo doing the play by play. Then, Mark Grant allows the celebration to breathe before his analysis. Perfect.
