I played in that league with Schilling. I believe Leehaak was also in that league and maybe also Jeep and/or Qksilver. I don't remember the details, maybe they do, but notwithstanding that I'm generally pretty skeptical I recall being fairly convinced that we had reliable confirmation that it was actually Schilling. I think we might've taken proxies from a separate email account that was confirmed (to the extent anything online can be confirmed, that is) to be his. He was very opinionated, and I recall him insulting Scott Schoenweiss (calling him Shoenwuss or something like that) and getting pretty grumpy about his team not performing to expectations/real life, and he bailed after one try.

I believe next weeks STAR magazine has an expose on Hollywood types who play Strat. Biggest surprise-Ryan Seacrest!

In 1981 they carried games on KMOX here in St. Louis and played Strato games and put them to play by play on the radio. They used crowd noise and cheering and smacked 2 sticks together for the sound of a hit.
Can you imagine Jack Buck and Mike Shannon and Ron Jacober calling games using Strato.
In 1981 there was a strike mid-way through the season and used this to fill time that was set aside for baseball to keep everyone into the season.
Baseball finally resolved the strike and split the season in half with the Winners of each half to play a series to decide who would play in the World Series that year.
The St. Louis Cardinals had the best overall record for the year in the National League in 1981 but did not go to the Playoffs because they finished 2nd in each half of the season......a Crying shame.
Some of what I remember may be a bit off, but it was 25 years ago so forgive me for some inaccuracies if they exist.
Maybe someone else will remember this as well. Heck it could have been Bob Costas doing the play by play...I just remember them doing it.

Ditto SOM on the radio for a strike year here in Boston. I remember actually listening to one of the games.

Can anyone confirm what issue this is? I can't seem to find it. Is it a story or more of a sentence?

Costas and Buck did two series, one having a Cardinal World Series Tournament featuring the '26, '46, '64 and '67 teams and another replaying the 1946 Championship against the Red Sox.

My friends and I were doing this down in the basement for years, albeit without the Budweiser sponsorship and the benefit of 50,000 watts of transmission power. Still, you can bet the family cat was enthrall to those dramatic Jim Rice walkoff homerun calls screamed into the Panasonic tape recorder. League commissioner, mom, was more rigorous than Bowie Kuhn with her "all games must conclude 5 minutes before supper" rule. Forget the reserve clause, Joe Rudi, orange baseballs and night games. This was one unyielding commish and I still have not forgiven her for thinking my Kit Kat smeared Mark Fidrych 19-9 season card was garbage! Mommmmm!!! NOT COOL!!!

Bodie, next to the words "Denkinger" "rain tarp" and "Neil Allen" nothing burns the balls of a diehard Cardinals' fan like the phrase "split season." If it weren't for 1982, the 80s would have been a a powder-blue polyester-clad disaster. God bless Willie McGee and Whitey.
