Spring Ball

TagFest: Baseball

Ah, spring baseball. There's nothing like it. Today is the A's third game of the spring and the first radio broadcast so I'm listening to the game on the radio while reading.

I forgot about the game on Thursday but yesterday I was able to listen to most of it at work. The A's Extra Innings host, Robert Buan, does the play-by-play for the weekday webcasts on mlb.com. I really love listening to all the guests he has come by. Sometimes the radio broadcasters sit in for a few innings or the beat writers might drop by or the assistant GM. They don't have commercials so they can talk through the change of innings.

I'm lucky that my current officemate is a big A's fan as well. He not only doesn't mind me listening to the games, he wants me to increase the volume. After spring training, I think we'll have to have the radio in between us so it's not too loud in my ear while I'm trying to concentrate.

I just checked the KNBR website and was overjoyed to see they're bringing back Midnight Baseball again this season. I do love falling asleep to the sweet sounds of the game. I know they're broadcasting on the radio today too. I wonder if it'll be on tonight...
