Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

"Style, not shtick. Wit, not bombast." That's the way Bob Costas describes longtime San Francisco Giants broadcaster Hank Greenwald's on-air voice in his foreword to Greenwald's acerbically free-wheeling look back at his years in the booth. It's a description that also goes a long way toward characterizing the man and his memoir. Greenwald, now retired from the grind of day-to-day game-calling, was a rarity on the air. He not only knew how to make a game come alive, but also how to liven up the pauses in action with a genuine humor that was funny but not self-serving, self-referential, or worse, self-reverential. Not surprisingly, This Copyrighted Broadcast reflects that balancing act: it's smart in its look at the state of the game, on and particularly off the field (to wit: "If there's one thing owners don't accept, it's blame. They don't have to, they're owners"; "What a shame baseball is so insecure about itself"), it's funny, it's honest (wait till you see what Greenwald has to say about Barry Bonds), it's daring in what it reveals about broadcasting and some of the absurdities of being a ball club's paid mouthpiece--unless you're an institution like Harry Caray, you don't always get to call it like you see it--and it's poignant in its revelations about family, especially concerning Greenwald's remarkable relationship with a daughter who has Down's Syndrome. But mostly, it's a collection of terrific anecdotes from a man who knows how to tells stories, move things along, and amuse with skill and absolute timing. This is, after all, the announcer who, when told by a producer to shorten his sign-on of a game from Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium, looked directly into the camera and bid fans a good evening from Two Rivers Stadium. --Jeff Silverman

Synopsis

This text is the autobiography of the celebrated American baseball commentator, Hank Greenwald. The unusual title originates from the way Greenwald weaved the disclaimer that every baseball broadcaster is obliged to read, into the fabric of his commentary on the game itself.

Not THAT dirty! 30. Juli 2000
Von Nathan
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If you like sports and are a Bay Area native, you have to read this book. Hank does a comical, complete review of early days with the Warriors and of course, the Men in Black (not the Raiders). He is really funny and a down to earth serious person as well.

Having discovered that the book had been banned, I naturally wanted to read it more, wondering what he could have said to anger the team's management that he faithfully and honestly served for all those years. Turns out it wasn't THAT much of a big deal. Just a few lines here and there. But it sure makes the Giants ownership group, at least half of it, sound like sourpusses, as well as a few others.

But Hank is not the type to dwell on negatives. He is far too funny, plus he and his wife have raised 2 children, which make you able to separate the important things from the nonsense real quick.

I am happy that I got to listen to Hank all those years of my youth, but even more happy for Hank that he seems to be living life on his terms. It is the gift that Bay Area sports fans would want for somebody like him after all that he has given us.

Buy it, read it, pass it to a friend. Hank, if you're reading this, we miss you.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I was not familiar with Hank Greenwald, but I enjoy most any book written by a baseball announcer, and Hank provides us with numerous stories from his days with the Giants and Yankees. Although I am not a fan of the NBA, I did follow the St. Louis Hawks in the 1960's and I enjoyed hearing his stories as an announcer in the NBA during this period. Yes, there are personal stories here regarding his daughter with Down Syndrome, but the family's experiences in this area is valuable for anyone in this situation. I enjoyed his experiences in the Phillipines reliving General MacArthur's returning to the island of Leyte, and the patience shown by his wife. We are treated to a visit to Australia and given information about that country/continent which some may not find to be interesting in this type of book. At the end Hank vents his frustrations about the problems in the game of baseball today. Since the book has been written, league presidents have been done away with and the umpiring situation should be improving. The owners' problem of asking the playears to save them from themselves remains to be solved. We are also treated to a poem on "The Polo Grounds", Hank's favorite ballpark and mine, even though I've never seen the park in person. I have, however, visited the site twice. It's a good book and worth reading.

It's Pretty Good..But.. 19. Dezember 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As a Bay Area native, I'm a longterm Greenwald fan. The book, while offering moments of Greenwaldian wisdom and insight, dwells too much on personal bitterness (don't ruin your persona as years progress a la Cosell, Hank) and family issues which, while laudable, are not what the audience for this book expects nor appreciates.

The book starts great but loses reader interest near the end.
