Colorado Rockies opening day
I really enjoy listening to the Colorado Rockies on the radio. I get excited for the season to start. I also relish listening on opening day for all of the pregame festivities. This year was no exception. I was so eager that I had trouble falling asleep the night before. I woke up at 5 o’clock and I tuned into the flagship station for the Colorado Rockies and one of my favorite stations to listen to -850 KOA. I adored listening to Steffan Tubbs and April Zesbaugh on Colorado’s Morning News. I thought they did a wonderful job with the interviews and telling us what was happening at Coors Field. Steffan Tubbs and April Zesbaugh always have fantastic information in the mornings. After their show was finished, I tuned in to KOA radio to hear Mandy Connell and Mike Rosen. They were also broadcasting from the ball park. This was new for the both of them. Mike Rosen has filled in for Mandy before, but they had never done a show together. I thought that they made a great team. If you are not as tuned to Colorado like I am, you should know that Mandy Connell took over for Mike Rosen after Mike Rosen’s semi-retirement. I thought that the most interesting question that Mike Rosen asked of Mandy was“Which team did you grow up with? Also which team did you grow up to hate?”Mandy said that she grew up in Florida, but I don’t remember what her 2 teams were. Mike and Mandy had some of Mike Rosen’s baseball material as well. Mike Rosen likes to play who’s on first by Abbot and Costello. At noon, Dave Logan and Susie Wargin took over for the early afternoon shift. Dave Logan and Susie Wargin are my 2 favorite sports radio personalities in sports radio. Dave and Susie interviewed one of the TV voices of the Colorado Rockies, and they also interviewed one of the players. I thought these were great pregame festivities and I am looking forward to them again next year.Thanks for tuning in.Jeremy Levy
