machine gun kelly Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) First round, my favorite was my Dad, again pre-internet in the fall of 91 would get all of the articles including Mr. Felsers which was my favorite, and send it down in a tube overnight (on the BN of course, he wasn’t a saint). So Tuesday after work and the gym, I came home to reading all of those articles TBD puts up for us now. My buddy and I shared a townhome for rent sharing, and he used to say, you Buffalo people are a little nuts about you’re Bills. My other bud who was from the northtowns who relocated when I did would beg me to save the articles for him, and he started coming over our house every Tuesday night. Van and Felser were good times. I’m not old enough for the Buffalo Braves stuff, but heard he was awesome calling those games. I can only remember the multi colored ball.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Everyone thinks their hometown announcers are the best. That's silly but what matters is do they make the experience better for the fans and make a connection with the fan base. In each case, Miller, Darling, and Jeanerette did just that. They all made being a fan of a Buffalo sports team more enjoyable. Buffalo missed out on the longtime baseball announcer that so many cities embraced. But I wouldn't trade "Where mama hides the cookies" for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Murphy was Vans’ booth sidekick years before he took the main mic. Now, many years later, he STILL sucks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
