Then, I was called up do a couple of Columbus games when for- mer play by play man George Matthews’ father passed away, and I was able to meet a lot of people that I had not met face to face and it created a net- working opportunity. When the play by play position opened permanently, they came calling again, this time for good. Matt: From those early years, is there a memorable game or a memorable call that stands out?
