Where...

I know which White Sox fans I might hear from after a win or a loss because you know the community.

Where I know people who are in the bleachers at Cubs games where you see familiar friends and faces.

It's not just about the broadcasters.

It's about the fans, too, and the people that you know.

Even the Bears fans groups, you know, sitting in a stadium that fits over 60,000 people.

One of the best parts has been getting to know all the fans and just the full, complete...

experience that is that is covering sports and being a part of the sports community which is really what it is in this town and i i said on saturday stacy king was such a joy to work with or sunday to learn the game from and to talk to but you know that you know that because you watched the games and you saw the exact same version of stacy that we got to experience off the mic he was like that in every broadcast

And to have to write that in past tense is something that I still don't fully comprehend.

And I think it's going to take a lot of us a very long time to be able to do so.

He was so good at teaching the game too.

We're so lucky.

And the analysts that we have who are somehow as brilliantly entertaining as they are good teachers.

And Stacey is one of those.

It's just such a loss.

And I don't even know how to completely put it into words like this.

Yeah, they have no idea.

They just know him for the personality that he became in their homes every day.

He was a wonderful teammate.

When that phrase extends far past, when you stop playing the game and you see how that becomes part of the game broadcast, when you see how that becomes part of your daily life, he was a wonderful teammate.
