Today’s one for the books… this morning at that cafe I met thee, one and only, Jon Miller. The voice of MLB on ESPN radio also the regular SF Giants commentator. I may have mentioned after moving out here, how I heard his voice on nightly Giants broadcasts and was very psyched , as he’s always been my preferred baseball announcer for the big games (radio or tv). Owner at the cafe knows him and introduced me while he was enjoying his pancakes and eggs… (he’s a clean-up hitter for sure). Turns out he lives close by. I could barely carry a conversation. When I told him I was from NY and a Yankee fan, he gave me a John Sterling impression. I was basically too frazzled to enjoy it and ended our meeting kind of abruptly as my head was combusting.
Pretty strange.. it was one of those “I can’t believe this/that voice is an actual person”. It would have been less awkward to see some superstar player walk in and go up and shake hands. weird.
Some things you just don’t want to mess with.
