A Legendary Yankees Broadcasting Moment from Suzyn Waldman They Came and Got Me Out of Texas: Part 2 Hoping for a Healthy Pitching Rotation
In an unforgettable baseball moment for all time, Yankees CBS Radio Broadcaster Suszyn Waldman wondrously mirrors the rampant joy of an overcome Yankee Stadium crowd as Roger Clemens divulges to fans that he is once again a New York Yankee.
This post is not so much about Roger Clemens or the New York Yankees. It is about one of those extraordinarily rare, once in a lifetime, baseball moments, which, in being so unpretentiously and spontaneously chronicled by a broadcaster, becomes sure to live on forever within the the lore and legend of baseball. Thanks and kudos to Suzyn Waldman for courageously making an already unforgettable moment utterly priceless.
Postscript: For all those jaded naysayers, especially those in the broadcast world:
If a rambunctiously spontaneous broadcast stream delivered with such obviously unfiltered and unpretentious baseball innocense such as Suzyn's seems to be embarassingly over emotional, "homerish" and politically incorrect to your sensibilities, check out the crowd dynamics and the pure reaction of the Yankee dugout. It seems everyone present was overcome by the emotional jaw-dropping stampede of the moment, and, if delivering the moment with those kind of over the top dynamics isn't doing your job, especially to the sight-deprived world of radio, what is?

The Silent Congo War: With over 1,000 people continuing to die each day from conflict-related causes, five million have perished in seven years, more than any other conflict since WWII. Perhaps the most unimaginable aspect of all is the widespread use of genocidal rape as an instrument of war by both sides of the conflict.
