The Voicemail Vault
I received a lot of drunk/interesting/weird voicemails during my time as the "Voice of the Lakers." Some were from the players, some were from faculty, some were from girlfriends, all were saved.
Here is the cream of the crop:

Oswego State student Gary Ayd survives apparent assassination attempt
Fans of "The Gary Ayd Show" on SUNY Oswego's student-run radio station WNYO can breathe easy; the plot to murder the show's host has failed.
Ayd has been working for the Hudson Valley Renegades baseball team of the New York Penn League this summer. He helps produce the team's radio broadcasts in addition to conducting player interviews.
Thankfully, he was not present in the team's press box after a July 9 game against the Auburn Doubledays when this happened:
The Poughkeepsie Journal reported on July 14 that a faulty mortar shell was to blame for the mishap.

Strasburg dominates AAA debut, brings old fans back to Chiefs
Strasburg is Roy Hobbs: a tall, slender, blond-haired northpaw who can bring the heat and swing the lumber.
He may not have a "wonderboy" inscription on his bat, but he did have two RBI's in it on Friday. One of which came from a suicide squeeze play--senior circuit baseball at its finest--the other from a line drive through the middle of the diamond in a 7-0 Syracuse Chiefs victory over the Gwinnet Braves at Alliance Bank Stadium.
And then there was the pitching. The most impressive number in Strasburg's line might just be the goose egg that represents the number of times the ball left the infield on the fly off a Gwinnett bat.

Strasburg starts Syracuse stint tonight
The Salt City is buzzing with anticipation for the Syracuse Chiefs debut of stud pitching prospect Stephen Strasburg.
The Gwinnet Braves will serve as the first AAA-level lineup to get a look at the right-handed flame thrower whom Washington Nationals outfielder Nyjer Morgan dubbed "Jesus" earlier this year in sprint training.

"For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land."The man whose voice welcomed baseball fans to every new season with a reading from Song of Solomon has passed.
Longtime Detroit Tigers announcer Ernie Harwell succumbed to cancer this afternoon at the age of 92. He had publicly announced in September that a tumor in his bile duct was inoperable.
