I had a great experience working with Karl Ravech for 8 years. He treated the Stats & Info department with total respect, was amazing at turning our work into great TV. For young broadcasters looking to emulate someone with regards to doing highlights/games, he set a great example (1/2)
Know anyone who wants to be a social media video producer? I talked to one, Heather Morrison at @masslive.bsky.social, about how she does her job with examples of specific strategies she and MassLive employ. A lot of thought goes into it. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2...
As Yogi Berra might've once said, you've got to play 15 innings before you play 16. In my 1986 reminiscence newsletter this week, we remember the goofy Mets-Astros 15-inning regular season game played 40 years ago today. 1986-mets-rewatch.beehiiv.com/p/22-1986-me...
#22- 1986 Mets Rewatch: Mets & Astros Play 15 Before They Play 16
An epic regular season game that foreshadowed a game the teams would later play in the playoffs.

Why Does Andy Pages Have More Runs Saved Than Pete Crow-Armstrong?
Crow-Armstrong has more range, but range is not the only area in which an outfielder accumulates value.
