Today I received an awesome baseball from current Baltimore Orioles broadcaster Joe Angel. Mr Angel used to broadcast for the Twins and was behind the microphone when Dave Kingman hit the ball that got stuck in the Metrodome roof.
The kids and I went to the Twins game on May 4th which happened to be against the Orioles as well as the anniversary of Dave Kingman’s hit. On ethe way home, the Twins post game report on the radio played Mr Angel’s audio of his radio call of that moment. I emailed my favorite Twins employee asking him if there was a way I could get a copy of that call. He came through for me in minutes. THANK YOU PAL! I wrote my letter to Mr Angel with the call and received it back today. He did a great job on it. It goes with a Story Ball I have on that moment perfectly.
Getting the ball in the mail was a great way to kick off the weekend!
