As a kid, it seemed like "Lindsey, Bob & Ralph" would always be there. On this record, he does a mock broadcast of Roger Craig dropping the ball on the mound for a balk that scored the first run ever allowed by the Mets in '62. April 8, 2008 All carry on Lindsey's class and mannerisms. ("You don't know what you've got til it's gone...")Why is it that the very best of the baseball announcers had that same accent? They were a trio that balanced each other perfectly.We may have had bad teams at times, but the Mets always had the best announcers, for many years. A treat! Back to Lindsey, you guys remember him announcing the World Series in 69 with Curt Gowdy on NBC. April 30, 2002 Besides Nelson, we had Bob Murphy, Mel Allen, Red Barber and Vincent Edward Scully, the creme de la creme of sportscasting excellence.I will always remember Lindsey's class and professionalism along with those god awful sports coats he donned during the games. If he was forced into doing this, then the producers of that record should have been ashamed of themselves! (his opening)Lindsey!!!! Lindsey Nelson was rythym in the booth. On this record, he does a mock broadcast of Roger Craig dropping the ball on the mound for a balk that scored the first run ever allowed by the Mets in '62. October 24, 2008 Lindsey Nelson was the "anchor" of that first Mets crew from 1962-1979. Finally, Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Kiner, having exhausted all baseball related topics, decided to share with the audience some of the nuts and bolts of broadcasting a game; the hand signals they used with the technical crew, how they knew when to cut to commercial, etc etc. Jerry Lindsey Nelson was the "anchor" of that first Mets crew from 1962-1979. Was he not afraid of losing some amount of credibility? Here are my few coins about the great Lindsey Nelson:1) I would rather listen to Mr. Nelson even years after his death than that overblown walking advertisement for birth control John Sterling any day of the week.2) He was the play-by-play announcer for the 1963 Army-Navy game on CBS sports which was played on Pearl Harbor Day December 7th (The game was postponed from its original date of November 23rd due to the assassination of President Kennedy). May 15, 2009 I vividly recall one game where the rain delay lasted a bit longer than expected. Frank the Met After awhile, he actually remembered me, which was a great thrill. October 24, 2008 We play other teams and we win in our dreams, that's a Mets fan, but when Met fans shout go what they mean we all know, we have no place to go but up." I thought Lindsey would lose his voice. Jeff I commented to him, I hope he had a good day at the ballpark. Lindsey, Bob and Ralph painted a picture with words that will never be surpassed. With one out and Joe Torre at the plate, the exact call (word for word) was - "There's one, there's two, the game is over; the Mets are the champions. But watching or listening to a baseball game was not the same. I grew up in Texas, so I wasn't a Mets fan, but I have been a baseball fan my entire life. :-) Great Between attending the final game at Shea (another heartbreak) and then coming across this board, the memories of my youth and growing up with the Mets have come flooding back.To this day, if I could have one job in the world, it would be to announce Mets games on TV and/or radio. April 15, 2006 After two or three minutes he leaned back in his chair and said:"This looks like a tie game to me." Besides Nelson, we had Bob Murphy, Mel Allen, Red Barber and Vincent Edward Scully, the creme de la creme of sportscasting excellence.I will always remember Lindsey's class and professionalism along with those god awful sports coats he donned during the games. I passed the bar exam and became a lawyer. This play did not actually happen! My favorite thing about Lindsey Nelson was that he had a style that drew you in. I guess I missed out. It was a shame his sports jackets were wasted on black and white television in the early years. He would come to the radio station to record a nationally syndicated thing he was doing for Exxon. The Channel 9 cameras showed different scenes of the stands showing the 48,000 fans screaming and going hysterical over the game-winning homer. Besides Nelson, we had Bob Murphy, Mel Allen, Red Barber and Vincent Edward Scully, the creme de la creme of sportscasting excellence.I will always remember Lindsey's class and professionalism along with those god awful sports coats he donned during the games. A true legend and THE CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL!He was beloved in New York City, considering his Southern Roots.He will forever be remembered announcing, "AT 9:07 ON SEPTEMBER 24th, THE METS HAVE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE EASTERN DIVISION OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE!!" football announcer as well. What a wonderful football broadcaster as well. Reading all the great tributes to Lindsey brings back great memories as a kid listening to the Mets games on my transistor radio. This play did not actually happen! Ron I don't remember him having a habit of making such errors on the air, but now I wonder how many times he did. It's a scene of wild jubilation here at Shea Stadium." If he was forced into doing this, then the producers of that record should have been ashamed of themselves! Bob P My initial reaction was he was a lot shorter than I thought, and I also noted he was not wearing a loud jacket. Lindsey served as narrator on the "Miracle Mets" vinyl disc record after the 1969 championship.
