Bleacher Boy Makes T.V. Debut
The Making Of A Successful Sportscaster
-David Strobach-
Recently I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Fox News and their sportscaster, Tom Pipines. I am not sure when this interview will be aired, but I will surely let you all know! I spent the afternoon with Tom Pipines, who likes to be called “Pip,” but not be called “late for dinner,” and I learned what makes a sportscaster successful.
As he was trying to learn about me and this blog, Bleacher Boy, I learned a lot from him as well. I learned that “Pip” is:
- A confident man with a firm handshake.
- A kind and friendly man with warm hugs for my mom and sister and an even friendlier smile.
- A polite man that was courteous and apologetic that he was running late–showing that others’ time is valuable too.
- A giving man that took the time to give me a tour and introduce me to literally EVERYONE at the studio including Katrina Cravy, making me feel like I was part of the family.
- A sincere man that was interested in what I do as a writer and as a teen, as well as the interests a my family.
- A knowledgeable man that knows his industry and keeps learning as the world changes.
- A humble man that thanks his coworkers for a job well done and gives credit to all those who work behind the scenes.
- A gracious man that wished a coworker the “Best of Luck” in their new job, expressing how much they’d be missed.
- A stylish man that can pull off wearing a purple shirt! 😉
- A wise man that is willing to share advice and his personal experiences with a kid who has a dream……
Thank you Pip!!!!!
Your friend,
Bleacher Boy
Remembering Scully’s Greatest Calls
-David S.-
Vin Scully has decided that 2016 will be his last year calling games which would make it his 67th year as the voice of the Dodger’s. As great as it is that we will be able to hear the legendary voice for one more year, it’s a sad moment for baseball when he leaves. In honor of Scully, here are some of the greatest calls in his career. My personal favorite is when Rick Monday saved the American flag.
Here’s a link to MLB Network’s top calls: http://m.mlb.com/video/v25509721/network-reveals-vin-scullys-top-calls
