But didn't just listen, was enthralled and knew that this time was his alone, that he was part of the vortex of drama unfolding inside the radio's innards.... I never saw a punch thrown, or a glass shatter, or a blood-smeared shirt as I listened to the radio. Nor did I know Barbara Stanwyck's hairstyle as she overacted in Sorry, Wrong Number on the Lux Radio Theatre. And I had no idea how corpulent Happy Felton was as he dropped ten silver dollars that jangled into a Sheffield's Milk bottle on Guess Who. (Yes, ten bucks was what you won on that show.) Instead, I imagined it all. Author InformationGERALD ESKENAZI has written sports for the New York Times for almost half a century.
