Is Bill the only person who's been a part of all 7 baseball championships? He deserves every single one of them.

K Lady hadn't entered my mind, to be honest. My thinking about the next closest was Jim Hawthorne, who called the first 6 championships, but not the most recent.

I am 55. But when I was a kid, I wanted to grow up and be the next Bill Franques.

He will be sorely missed when he leaves. He is the stat guru

Bill does color for the radio broadcast on the road games too, and accurately predicted a wild pitch on one of them. He's the GOAT

I believe he's 60.

From this Advocate article in February 2019 which said he was 55 at the time: LINK

He is married to one of my sisters childhood friends, really solid, good people also. Hope “Poofa” gets him something really nice!

Todd Politz is the stat guru who makes everyone look good.

With the said, Bill's in a class by himself.

Don't ever sit in back (in front of is worst) of the K Lady as she is non stop shouting whole game.

She needs to be told to hang the signs and shut the F*CK up.
