Just a little bit of fun I was having there... I should have known

She is the first to do it on a regular basis. I think Gayle Gardner (once
from ESPN) did a game or two for a team on radio, but nothing like
the 50 that Waldman does for FOX 5. I was in seventh heaven when
she worked a Sox Sunday night game last summer with Castiglione,
when Trupiano was out for a week or so there. She's an intelligent
announcer who still bleeds Sox red (you can tell) and it would be
great to have her on the home team.
