I asked Vin Scully for an interview in 1981. He was cordial, but said "Jamie Jarrin is a much better story. Let me introduce you". Jarrin was their Spanish pbp guy and the interpreter for Fernando Valenzuela. Also a Hall of Famer. Turned out to be a great story.John Popovich WCPO

Vin Scully did the 1990 World Series between the Reds and A's on CBS Radio with Johnny Bench. A genius pairing. They knew when to talk and they knew when to be quiet. John Popovich WCPO

Still waiting for the go-ahead to play baseball today in Cleveland. Big game between the Guardians and White Sox.

“I love these guys. These are my guys” Bob Huggins’ sentiments as his UC Final Four team reunited Friday night. It’s been 30 years since that team put UC hoops back on the map. John Popovich WCPO

Farewell to the Great Jerry Thomas. I didn't know him well, but he felt like a close friend each morning on the radio. One year prior to the Battle of Ohio, he recorded some Cleveland jokes for a story I was doing. Just a wonderful guy.John Popovich WCPO

Here's a Jerry Thomas Cleveland joke that I can recall. What's the difference between Cleveland and yogurt? (pause..pause) Yogurt has an active culture. (Ouch!).John Popovich WCPO

First it was Louis Orr, and today it was Tom Browning. They were kind, cooperative, humble and funny guys and extremely good athletes. I loved to be in their presence. Gone way, way too son.WCPO 9

Before Joe Burrow, the Bengals had a couple of great qb’s in Boomer Esiason and Ken Anderson. Both were at the Elder Stag tonight. Great stories!@WCPO

Congratulations to Nick Hoying of Kings and Aiden Jones of CovCath. They were named the top football scholar-athletes in Cincinnati and Northern Ky Thursday night.WCPO 9

Fans now starting to take their places for the parade. Stay in the sun!@WCPO

Big smiles on Reds Opening Day 2033.WCPO 9

Congratulations to George Vogel on a tremendous career at Channel 5. He's retiring today. He was always a tough guy to compete against, yet a terrific guy to spend some quality time with. George, have a cold one on me!

If you listen to the NBA finals on Sirius XM, the energetic play-by-play voice of the Heat is Jason Jackson, a Princeton HS grad. Did a couple of stints as a Channel 9 sports intern. Great guy! And he's terrific on the call.WCPO 9

In Killarney, Ireland with some great folks from Cincinnati and we watched thousands show up to celebrate the Fourth of July. Who knew?John Popovich WCPO,WCPO 9,Holiday Vacation Places

Saddened by the passing of “Big George” Wilson, who started on UC championship team of 1961-62. George was a big guy with a big personality and a big heart. He was a regular caller years ago on “Sports of All Sorts.”WCPO 9

John Fay was a fixture in the Reds press box for a couple of decades. A must read in the next day's Enquirer. Sad to learn of John's passing. Just a good humble man, a talented writer, and just a nice person to be around.WCPO 9

“It’s so, so, so good to be home” New Louisville head coach Pat Kelsey returns to Price Hill to speak at the 47th Elder Sports Stag.WCPO 9
