I grew up that way with baseball. I loved playing it. But from the first of March thru the first of October, at 7:05 or 7:35, we had Ernie, Skip and Pete (and later Skip, Pete, & Don Sutton) - either on WSB radio or TBS exclusively in my house. And it was mostly background while we were doing something else. Especially during summer. We had a pool and spent all our evenings outside. I miss Skip and Pete
