I was going to post that. Their announcer whould say his last name with such a florish. John BOCcaBELLAAA. The guy was a journeyman catcher in the early 70"s and I remember him just for announcer saying his name. +
Tim Foli played the bulk of his career there in the early/mid 70's.
I remember my older brother had a custom dodge van with an airbrushed paint job of a desert oasis on it . Big assed side pipes .
Complete with the furry carpet interior . Man those were great times .

Of course then you'll remember the Montreal PA announcer introducing Stargell as "Willie Star-GELL". I also remember him giving Donn Clendenon's last name a very French pronunciation ("Clon-da-NON", with a long O). Since I was taking high school French, I also got a kick out of the positions in French (Stargell, then still the left fielder, was "le voitigeur au gauche").
4-5. He hit into a double play with the bases loaded in the 9th. The two pitches before that he smoked both of them just foul down the first base line. Another foot to the left on either of them and he ends up 5-5 with 3 doubles and a homer and 5 rbis.
I guess it's too bad he had to settle for 4-5 with 2 doubles and a homer.
