You don't need to use a headset from 1950 to get one with an open back

Who's the greatest Pittsburgh announcer? Mike Lange or Myron Cope? (or Bob Prince)
Shame on you for six weeks, great balls of fire, buy Sam a drink and get his dog one too, throwing everything exept the kitchen sink. Some of his originals of my childhood.
Mike Lange called my childhood. Hockey nights made the school year bearable. I remember the 5 or 6 overtime game against the capitals in 96 or there abouts. School was rough the next day but his call of Nedved’s goal that night is something I’ll always treasure. Thanks Mike.

People actually did buy Sam drinks and one for his dog, too. And yes, the dog drank beer.

God bless you, Mike Lange!
You brought a lot of joy to so many over the years.
Back in the late 80's when I was at Duquesne, we'd go to games and book back to the dorms to listen to Lange's radio replays. Lemieux scored a lot of those goals.
Just a pity they didn't give him a Harley to hunt Moose on!
