My friend was riding @SFBART, spotted a rider reading my book and was kind enough to snap a photo for me.

Still blows my mind that I wrote a #TrueCrime book. I work in baseball. I had no clue what I was doing, but figured it out.

Don't let your current job define who you are.

When an athlete says "it's indescribable," that's fine. It's their job to compete.

When a reporter says "it's indescribable," it's infuriating. It's literally your job to describe it. Try again. Keep trying. Do your job.

Whenever I hear something is "indescribable" I think, really? How hard have you tried? Claiming that the English language is fundamentally incapable of capturing the experience is a cop out. You can rise to the occasion, I believe in you.

We did an episode on Game Six in 1986 too.

We prefer to use a variety of voices, whenever possible, and this episode includes some Ken Coleman on Red Sox radio and Bob Murphy on Mets radio.

@Josh_Suchon @jgoldstrass Josh, thanks a lot. I always wondered how the Dodger and A’s announcers called it. I also wonder about 1986, Mookie Wilson’s ground ball. I heard Scully’s and Mets announcer Bob Murphy’s calls. I always wanted to hear Jack Buck’s and the Red Sox announcers calls. Do you have them

You've probably heard the Vin Scully call and the Jack Buck call of Kirk Gibson's epic walkoff HR from Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.

But have you heard Don Drysdale's call on #Dodgers radio? An excerpt from "Crafting the Call" with @jgoldstrass

I had the song "this is gonna be the best day of my life" stuck in my head for a week after recording this episode. Such a fun episode to break down how the best day of someone's baseball life was captured.

Now that the MiLB regular season has concluded, there's space to drop a new Crafting the Call with @Josh_Suchon: The best game in a player's life.

This was a blast, breaking down the calls for Jo Adell, Ryan O'Hearn, Rick Wise, Bengie Molina, Mike Benjamin, and more.
