What kind of money does this gig pay?

Since when is Wayne Messmer not our PA guy?

Since when is Wayne Messmer not our PA guy?

 

That's what I was wondering. Wayne's great.

I remember a few years back Wayne shared duties; it's been several years since he had the job by himself. I believe he still sings the anthem before some of the games (he should do it all the time).

[Sammy Sofa]

Lord no. He sounds a baritone Kermit the Frog at this point.

I've seen Messmer 100 times, and I still picture him as Howard Finkel when I hear his voice

I went to high school with the guy that just stepped down from the PA job. His name is Paul Friedman. It doesn't pay a lot.

Heh...there's a name I haven't heard in a while.

 

I'm sure I'm not the only one that makes this association when I see Messmer....

He should do it none of the time.
