♫ Tumbling Dice ♫

Well, except for one or two, I’ve played my favourite Rolling Stones’ songs this week, so now it’s time to play some that might cause me to take my hearing aids out and howl at the moon, but that some of you will probably like!  Today’s is one that was mentioned by my friend Jerry, the one who prompted Rolling Stones Week, and was also mentioned in a comment by our friend Clive.  It wouldn’t make…

Not gonna lie, I took this one pretty hard. I had no idea I'd listened to Jim Price's last radio broadcast as a commentator for the Detroit Tigers. No kidding, I've probably listened to over a thousand games called by he and Dan Dickerson. I knew that he had decided he no longer wanted to travel so when the Tigers were on the road I never expected to hear him but I was really worried for his health when he stopped calling the home games. My friend Jesse told me the day it was announced. For years, Faygo, a Michigan soft drink, sponsored every single Detroit Tigers home run described on the radio, so Jim's duty after every Tiger hit one out was to say, "Every Tiger Home Run is brought to you by Faygo, Faygo Pop, making delicious flavors for over 100 years.". Jesse sent me the link to an article announcing his passing and added "Over 81 delicious years.". :) Jim Price would always describe a perfect curve ball pitch as a "Yellow Hammer". It turns out this is because Alabama's State bird, The Yellow Hammer Woodpecker has late darting away action on it's flight path, as does that of a perfect curveball. The ending to this short video tribute is especially beautiful. To explain, for years, any town that his radio broadcast partner Dan Dickerson would mention, Jim would describe as a "Nice Area". It just became this beautiful little silly running gag of Tigers radio broadcasts. He and his wife had an autistic child and consequently formed Jack's Place For Autism. One of my favorite Tigers radio broadcast moments was when Jim interviewed his wife about Jack's Place and, perhaps in an effort to seem more professional or to keep the focus on the organisation rather than their own interest and involvement in it, he addressed her as "Mrs. Price", and toward the end of the interview she had fun with that by addressing him as Jim. I listened to that interview in the office of Ace Hardware in Oak Park. Tigers Authentics told me they don't have any balls signed by Jim & Dan. I may see if Jack's Place has any up for auction. I feel I should have one. Like I said, over a thousand broadcasts. What I loved most about the game played the day his passing was announced was that it was dedicated to Jim and Miguel Cabrera made history TWICE that day. Jim used to always say, "It's history every time he steps in the batter's box.". On THAT day, Miguel became a top 20 ALL-TIME Hits leader in MLB's 100+ years history. He tied Tony Gwynn, then passed him and tied Robin Yount. I know Jim loved that. And the Tigers won one for him too.
