When I lived in Pittston, Pennsylvania back in the 1980s, there was an older friend of mine who told me that the main guy for the Phillies, before Harry Kallas, was By Saam. He kind of indicated that Saam was lousy. Now that I've finally heard Saam, though, I'd have to say that, boy, do I disagree with him! Saam was GREAT!
