DURING many of his 40-plus years as a baseball announcer, no one was harder on Gene Elston than Gene Elston.

Elston demanded documentation of his inadequacies. He had a deal with engineer Bob Green during his early years with the Colt .45s and Astros to tape one game per week at random so he could study his work.

Congratulations to a very deserving guy who was a joy to listen to.
 
I can't tell you how many South Texas nights I spent listening to first, Gene & Loel Passe, then Gene & Dewayne Staats over KSIX in Corpus Christi.

Congrats on an honor well deserved, Gene!
