“Now Here’s Dámaso García …”
Without question or doubtless doubt, you’ve been waiting, breath bated, for the next episode of “The World According to Gross.” On this point, I have wonderful news: the next episode of “The World According to Gross” is embedded below, and the subject, it so happens, is the sport that binds us …
Some observations regarding the multitudes to which we have borne awed witness:
0:15 – That’s a fake voice.
0:29 – The man who murdered Mr. Gross with a cargo hook and, under cover of darkness, buried him in a shallow grave has just entered the frame.
0:49 – Dámaso García!
0:59 – Ol’ Hard Luck Stieb!
1:28 – Mr. Gross is lying to Julie from “The Love Boat.”
1:30 – Mr. Gross is going to have sex with Julie from “The Love Boat.”
1:50 – The people, they barely care.
2:02 – The young man in the striped shirt sports a haircut, one rarely seen in captivity, that connoisseurs call “The Inundation.”
2:08 – You are witnessing a young lady paralyzed by the bedroomy musk of a local television-news personality.
2:29 – That’s a fake voice.
So what have I missed?
0:26-0:30, what’s going on with pink shirt’s hair?
This Peter Gross is a fascinating gentleman of the 80s. How is it that someone, which according to this attempted to use statistics to analyze his own reporting, is not better known to us all?
Surely Cistulli needs to find him and bring him on the Podcast.
I demand answers, Gross. SHOW YOUR WORK!
Believe it or not, that’s City TV, and I’m pretty sure the very first anchor you see still works in the news department there.
Am I right that several of his amazing pitcher facts have to do with suspened games and forefeits?
I imagine so, though imagine the following between Team A and B:
Pitcher A for Team A throws nine innings of shutout ball, and the game is suspended with the score 0-0 in the bottom of the ninth with Team A is up to bat.
Team A trades Pitcher A to Team B, and they finish the game at a later date, using Pitcher A in relief to pitch against Team A. He gives up a home run, thus simultaneously getting both the W and the L.
May be an obscure rule against this?
0:57 Holy Jesus, they drew base coach boxes huge back then. And yet, the first base coach still ignores its boundaries. Today’s boxes seem almost apologetic in size by comparison.
Both John Saunders (ABC/ESPN) and Russ Salzberg (Children eaten by Mike Tyson) started out at CityTV. No one knows where Peter Gross is now. I miss Damo Gracia. The memory of stolen bases (54 in ’82) and torched uniforms http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2194&dat=19861210&id=jcEyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Ze8FAAAAIBAJ&pg=1612,6005041, bring tears to my eyes.
