Roy Steele Bobblehead Day

While surfing around the ballgames on XM Satellite Radio, I tuned in to the Oakland Athletics broadcast, with Ken Korach and Ray Fosse. I heard them mention that it was going to be Roy Steele Bobblehead Day, and it brought back some great memories from when I lived in the Bat Area from 1986-1990. Steele was the A's public address announcer then, and continued until 2006 or 2007. I enjoyed hearing his deep voice and sense of humor resonate throughout the Coliseum. Another voice of the game that sticks in my memory over 20 years later.

Apparently he is the first PA announcer to be honored with a bobblehead. I wish I was there to help honor him...
