Bob was a work horse. Every winter he brought a caravan of Pirate players to towns throughout PA to meet with fans. For many people my age, he was the face of the Pirates. It cost the Pirates tens of millions of dollars when they allowed Westinghouse to fire him.

Prince was one of the best. Ernie Harwell was the finest imo

I prefer Richie and Harry--but I'll admit it is a bias on who I listened to growing up. But they are both in the Hall. Prince was a classic though.

I loved the phrases like " blue darter" or a low line drive base hit.

A bug on the rug
Babushka power
The Green Weenie
A bloop and a blast
Chicken on the Hill with Will
Got em by a gnat's eyelash
A Hoover job
He couldn't of hit that with a bed slat
We had 'em alllll the way
The Gunner was one of a kind.
