The A’s have used the facility to its advantage over the years, posting the second best home record (492-318, .607) in the Major Leagues over the last 10 seasons. In 2003, the A’s set an Oakland record for home wins as they finished with a 57-24 (.704) record in the Coliseum, marking the most home wins in franchise history since 1931 RECORDS when the Philadelphia Athletics went 60-15 at home. In addition, two of the A’s World Championships have been clinched on the Coliseum’s turf. The Coliseum’s exceptional sight lines, fine weather and sizable staging areas have all contributed to its popularity among performers, promoters and the Bay Area public. The facility is conveniently located adjacent to I-880 with two exits (Hegenberger Road/66th Avenue) leading directly to the complex. Along with the Oracle Arena, which is located adjacently, it is the only major entertainment facility with a dedicated stop on the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system. The Oakland International Airport is less than a two-mile drive from the Coliseum with shuttle service to several local hotels and restaurants. In October of 1995, the Coliseum HISTORY began a one-year, $120 renovation proj- ect that added 22,000 new seats, 90 luxury suites, two private clubs and two OAKLAND-ALAMEDA COUNTY COLISEUM state-of-the-art scoreboards.

    I ¡Qt>. 565 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRINCIPAL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCERS: THEIR OCCUPATION, BACKGROUND, AND PERSONAL LIFE Michael R. Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons.

  • Walt Lochman
    Calling the Blues: Kansas City's Walt Lochman Originally published in The Old Radio Times, January-February 2014 In 1940 Walt Lochman, as announcer for the Kansas City Blues baseball team, received 65,000 votes in a Sporting News popularity contest seeking the best radio baseball announcer in the nation. This total was enough for first place in the minor league class; WGN's Bob Elson, a future member of the Baseball Hall of Fame and long-time White Sox announcer, won first place amongst major league announcers. The New York Yankees-affiliated Kansas City Blues were a AA franchise with roots stretching back to the 1880s and the closest the city got to big-time ball until the arrival of the Athletics in the 1950s. Lochman wasn't just popular with listeners; management loved him. Yearly paid attendance had reached 300,000 that year, three times the paid attendance just five years earlier. That summer of 1940 his daily radio show on KMBC drew 51% of listeners compared to WDAF's second place showing of 10%. The legendary juvenile adventure show Little Orphan Annie may have done well against nefarious evil doers but only managed a 5% rating against Lochman. With such ratings, the money followed him on the air, too. General Mills' Wheaties cereal and Socony-Vacuum Oil Company signed on for another year of sponsorship, eager to have their products attached to this charismatic play caller. Such success, however, hadn't come over night. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, on November 4, 1906, Lochman's full given name was Walton but he would be known as Walt throughout his professional career.

  • Television Appearances
    television appearances Colorado has appeared on either national or regional television 227 times since the 1951 season, posting a 107-117-3 record in these games (52-40-2 in Boulder). The Buffaloes have been on national TV a total of 140 times, owning a 62-75-3 record (33-22-2 in Boulder). Since 1990, the Buffaloes have been one of the most televised teams in the nation, as 178 of their 257 games (69 percent) have been broadcast either nationally or regionally. The first appearance on TV by Colorado was in 1951, as the Nebraska game in Lincoln on Nov. 17 was broadcast to 19 states in the central part of the nation as part of the NCAA television testing program; an estimated 8-to- 10 million people watched the Buffs win in impressive fashion. An interesting fact is that the first college football game ever televised on ESPN involved Colorado, as the fledgling cable network broadcast the Oregon-CU game on Sept. 8, 1979.

  • 2010 Meat Hall of Fame Inductees
    2010 – Bob Uecker This inductee into the Wisconsin Meat Industry Hall of Fame has never made sausage, never owned or worked in a meat plant, never researched the mysteries of meat tenderness, never taught a course in meat science, and has no patents that improve meat as a food! Robert George ‘Bob’ Uecker is being honored as a master voice for advertising meat via play-by-play radio announcing of major league baseball. Through his radio broadcasts of Milwaukee Brewers games, he has become a genius at talking about meat by exclaiming to his radio audience the virtues of meat as a healthy, nutritious, and tasty food. Perhaps no other person in Wisconsin has been more consistent and more effective in supporting the virtues of Wisconsin’s meat Industry. Bob Uecker was born January 26, 1935 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A natural athlete, baseball became his choice of sports. After graduating from Milwaukee Technical High School, he signed as a catcher with the Milwaukee Braves. He later played for the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals (playing in the 1964 World Series) before being traded to the Atlanta Braves. Because his .200 batting average produced only 14 home runs and 74 runs-batted-in over his 11-year baseball career, he retired from baseball in 1967, which evolved into a blessing in disguise. In 1971 he was hired by the Milwaukee Brewers to provide color commentary alongside announcers Merle Harmon and Tom Collins. Uecker was the baseball expert; Harmon and Collins were play-by-play experts. One day he was left to do the play-by-play coverage and his talent could not be denied.
