Before the days of "Satellite Radio", "iPods", "Cable Television", and "the internet" if you wanted to watch a baseball game on a Saturday, you were either going to watch the NBC game of the week or you were going to have to go to an actual game.
However, there was one other option that my Dad and I took advantage of - and it is my memorable experience.
We were able to pick up broadcasts of the Cincinnati Reds (our favorite team) on AM radio in our hometown in SW Virginia. The only problem was we could only pick it up in our 1971 VW Beetle (fortunately equipped with the optional AM Radio) and only if we drove around in the country.
The game we were listening to while running to the store happened to be Tom Seaver's perfect game. We realized this was a historic moment and decided to keep driving to keep the good karma alive. As we bobbed and weaved through the hills and dales of the countryside we soon learned that when we went down a large hill, we would lose the signal. I started yelling for my Dad to gun it so we could be able to get back up to catch every tantalizing pitch.
Soon we were careening around - cheering for our team - praying for each and every out - and hoping the game did not go on too long, because Mom had no idea where we were (pre-cellphone era!).
When the final out was recorded we screamed our approval, we had just listened to history - and the memory of that moment is indelibly etched in my memory!
