I was on national TV three times.
1..Three nights before boarding ship to go to Korea, I was in the audience in the NBC Studios in Burbank, CA. The program was called, 'The Peter Potter Platter Parade', and Zsa Zsa Gabor was one of the guest stars. My Marine buddy and I, and two swabbies in uniform, were asked if we would take part in a 'gimmick' involving Zsa Zsa. Too make a long story short, I was on full screen for a few seconds. Too bad there were no VCRs in those days, because my Mom had half of Chicago watching.
2..In 1987, I worked with the chain crew at the last pre-season game between the Bears and the Raiders at the LA Coliseum. Unfortunately, no one taped it for me.
3..In 1994, I got a 4-man crew together to work one of the 'Silver Bullets' Games at Mavericks Stadium in Adelanto, CA. ESPN filmed the game, and a friend of mine taped it for me. My highlight was getting hit in my ample rear by a foul ball (I was working 3B).
