Yeah, you got that right. I remember (as a little kid in the 1960's) my dad had an old clock radio with a really crisp sound - he would bring up to the dining room table on Saturday nights in the fall to listen to Tiger games. It was always intense.

Thanks for the story... you just reminded me to thank my dad for the gift he gave me and my brother as kids. We didnt go to every game but thats what made the radio experience a treasured memory!

The TV games back then were especially awesome if you couldnt be at the game in person.

The last game against "The Bear" was I think in '82?? Risher and company put a arse thumping on Walter Lewis and Bama. I remember watching this game with a group of friends. I think it was on Pay Per View... It felt so good that day after that beat down of Bama.

Probably was one of the old clock radios where the numbers were actually on small metal plates that flipped (unless it was one of the really old ones with the rotary clock).

I had one of that was very similar to this bad boy that I listened to a lot of games on:
