My first radio Yankee experience was Mr. Coleman, the Scooter, and Frank Messer in 1968.  the Yanks were in steep decline, but what an entertaining trio.

Mr. Coleman was quite the man.  Marine Corps pilot in 2 wars, a fine ballplayer and a great announcer.

Rest peacefully Jerry....and thank you.

A good player.  RIP, Jerry.
