Favorite Broadcaster

Noah has just about every Cleveland Indians giveaway from 2007 and 2008 in his room thanks to the efforts of Grandpa E and Grandma Judy. One of those things is a Tom Hamilton bobblehead doll. What makes this unique is that you can push the "microphone" on the little desk he sits at and you can hear one of three pre-recorded calls.

If you want to get a little sense of what that means, you can listen to this. The call at 0:24 is vintage Hammy. If you want a copy of his call of Victor Martinez's HR of Chien-Ming Wang in game 1 of the 2007 ALDS email me and I will be happy to send it you. If you want more, you can listen to this one too.

Anyhow, Noah can't get enough of it. He insists that we play it for him when we're in his room. Amanda says that he will point at his door and make his little "I want that" noise. He loves it. He also likes the teddy bear that sings "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" when Amanda changes his diaper.

(personal confession: I get tears in my eyes as I listen to this)
