The Sunday shows became end of the week, a late afternoon, evening tradition for me

I can see Kurt hanging out at Spring Training, thus too preoccupied to call.

Perfect representative clip for this show: Ron's stubborn defense of a game official.

I miss those roundtables we used to have on Sunday mornings before his Sunday evening show.

This 2nd hour should be bought for by the Umpires/Referees Association in conjunction with the Jake Rogers fan club.

Yeah, some of those time slots (and the changes brought on by Ron’s “fluidity”) worked out better than others for me…the post-show recap, as I’d scroll through the pages of play-by-play from the Buzzboard almost made up for missing the show and/or lack of podcasts.

Actually, Martin, blocking people on X/Twitter didn't help to promote the show.

The lack of any ability to locate/notify next-of-kin to proceed is a sad part of this story.

A memorial service for Ron would make a Dean Martin roast look bland in comparison.
