Pat and Ron CD Content

[TuffyRhodes]

Hey has anyone on here ordered and recieved the Pat and Ron CD yet? If so, how is it? How long is it? Is it all "highlights" and clips or is it more like the Harry Caray tribute CD with a lot of folks just talking about Pat and Ron? Any info is apperciated.

[Jon]

Thanks for reminding me to order it. I've been forgetting.

 

The site says calls and conversations, but I could let you know when I get it.

I ordered it about a month ago and have yet to see it. And, there's no one to call to inquire to its whereabouts. Luckily, they haven't cashed the check yet.

I'd order it if they'd take credit card, or paypal. And your experience doesn't exactly push me over the edge to use their sluggish method. I'd really like it, but I'm against the only payment method they'll except. They should just make it downloadable and payable via the net. I'm hoping it appears on usenet or torrent pretty soon.

I sent my money in on January 17th and I have yet to get this cd yet.

 

I have ordered other things from WGN Radio and I would have already gotten what i ordered by say the end of the week.

 

I did email someone over there and i have yet to be emailed back. and that was over the weekend.

I ordered it Jan. 20. Haven't received it yet; check hasn't cleared the bank.

[Buford T Justice]

Crap I sent a money order..Sounds like I gave WGN free money!! ERRRR

I got a response email from someone today saying that they have been so inundated with orders it has been hard to keep up. So be patient.

I receieved my copy of the CD in the mail yesterday and just listened to it.

 

Great stuff all around is you're a fan of the Pat & Ron banter. There are also some great calls by Pat; things like Sosa's drive to 66, the division title in 03, etc.

 

But above all, you have the hilarity that is Ron Santo. They have an entire track devoted to him getting upset at Cubs miscues and bad calls.

 

Well worth the $10.

So you mean that the CD contains an actual Rontage? Good lord, I'd pay $10 for just that. :lol:

[Buford T Justice]

Hopefully I'll get my copy soon

[Gunned]

The idea of paying to listen to Ron Santo on the radio is mind-boggling to me.

[NCCubFan]

I just got my CD today. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

[BCVM22]

Got mine yesterday. Don't read ahead if you don't want a detailed description of what the CD contains.

 

"When I first met Ron, I thought he was kind of goofy. Now, 10 years later, there's no doubt: I'm absolutely certain that he is." - Pat

 

The CD is 18 tracks, and just over an hour long. The tracks are mostly broadcast material, either calls of game events, or particularly funny Pat and Ron moments in the booth.

 

Most of the tracks are organized by content to some extent. Track 7, "Mutual Of Ron's Wild Kingdom" is pieces of Ron stories involving his many animal encounters, from dogs to gorillas to ducks. Track 3, "Let's Get Some Runs" focuses on the various 7th inning stretch conductors, including Ditka, Bill Murray, and to my horror and amusement, the Osbournes' rendition is included in its entirety. Other themed tracks include hairpiece follies from Ron, instances of Ron eating in the booth, and an entire 7-minute track devoted to Ron's reactions through the course of a particularly stressful game.

 

Interspersed throughout the CD are interview snippets from Pat and from Ron, and there's some great material from Pat about how he got started in play-by-play work. Calls found on the CD include a myriad of Sosa and McGwire moments from 1998, plus various home runs and wild plays, such as a Sosa walkoff 3-run homer off of Trevor Hoffman from June 1999, the wild Rockies-Cubs rundown from August 2001, the 2003 division title, Alou's game-winning home run off of Danny Graves (after Sammy homered off of Graves to tie it) from April 2004, Maddux's 3000th strikeout, and assorted other plays I couldn't identify. Ron's speech to Wrigley on the day his number was retired is also included.

 

Definitely worth $10, and a perfect way to get back into hearing Pat and Ron for another season.

[ronsanto10]

is the brant brown error call on the cd???

[BCVM22]

Yup. In its entirety.

[ronsanto10]

is the brant brown error call on the cd???

 

Yup. In its entirety.

that is worth the price right there......no doubt

[ZMovieman]

I'm sure it's been posted before, but does anyone have audio of the Brant Brown error?

[Jon]

Just got it today. Not bad for $10. I wish there was more, though.

 

Ron talking about the streaker is always great. "When he came out of the bullpen, I could tell he was a short reliever."

[Buford T Justice]

Got my CD the other..I could lived without haveing to hear Ozzy sing the 7th innig stretch again though. My question is this though.. Why in the heck does Ron wear a hair piece if he tells everyone about it? Isn't that the point of a hair piece? It's still funny tear about his "rally rug" though.
