Lindsey Nelson was Tony the Tiger...GREAT! Said Nelson, "What do you say to the fans after you've said you're sorry?"

I also remember catching Lindsey announcing, I think, some Notre Dame games on TV.

Here are my few coins about the great Lindsey Nelson:1) I would rather listen to Mr. Nelson even years after his death than that overblown walking advertisement for birth control John Sterling any day of the week.2) He was the play-by-play announcer for the 1963 Army-Navy game on CBS sports which was played on Pearl Harbor Day December 7th (The game was postponed from its original date of November 23rd due to the assassination of President Kennedy). However, since my family only had black-and-white television sets during Lindsey's tenure I never fully appreciated his plaid jackets.

Adrian Cano

Lindsey took great joy in saying in rapid fire "And Robert Apodaca is warming up in the Mets bullpen." November 6, 2005 This play did not actually happen! I seem to remember that when WOR broadcast the first spring training game of the 1970 season that the broadcast opened with Lindsey Nelson smiling into the camera as a bottle of champaigne was poured on his head.

Though it lasted just a year, it was great to be reunited with the greatest sports broadcast team ever.I`ve never forgotten them, and with modern day announcers not wanting to just announce but be the show, the memories are more precious as time goes on.Over the last year, I have been able to purchase some of the Met broadcasts. Lindsey Nelson had a talent for taking you on the field, bringing you into the ballgame. October 13, 2005 I live only a few miles from where it used to be.

In the 60's & early 70's when there was a rain delay the Channel 9 broadcast would usually do an impromptu Kiner's Korner and if the game was cancelled, Channel 9 would show the "Million Dollar Movie" with the Gone With The Wind soundtrack. There wasn’t any reason for him to repeat what he just said and it drove me crazy quite often. You are missed by those who heard you broadcast, your fans, friends, and most of all your family.If there is a Pressbox in Heaven, you Lindsey Nelson are sitting next to Mel Allen, Red Barber, Curt Gowdy, Harry Carey, Bob Murphy. He had a voice that always grabbed your attention.Whenever he would come on in the 7th inning and said "Thank you very much, Ralph Kiner and hello again, everybody" I would get the feeling that an exciting ending was in store.Lindsey, Ralph and Bob Murphy were New York's (perhaps baseball's) best broadcast team ever! Adrian Cano

Lindsey took great joy in saying in rapid fire "And Robert Apodaca is warming up in the Mets bullpen." November 6, 2005 This play did not actually happen! I seem to remember that when WOR broadcast the first spring training game of the 1970 season that the broadcast opened with Lindsey Nelson smiling into the camera as a bottle of champaigne was poured on his head. When I wasn't at the game, I'd be watching on Channel 9 or listening on the radio (does anyone else remember WJRZ in Hackensack? Rest in peace. Rest in peace. Roscoe Bernard

Lindsey took great joy in saying in rapid fire "And Robert Apodaca is warming up in the Mets bullpen." Whenever he identified someone on camera like a manager in the dugout or a pitcher in the bullpen, he'd say the name of the person twice. Finally, Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Kiner, having exhausted all baseball related topics, decided to share with the audience some of the nuts and bolts of broadcasting a game; the hand signals they used with the technical crew, how they knew when to cut to commercial, etc etc. (We called the I was very disappointed when the signal finally faded away. He had a lively voice, but also a little too much flamboyance.In listening to a few old radio broadcasts of the Mets on You Tube recently, I found that Nelson had given the wrong identity of a few players on the field.

What a broadcasting team. (We called the With one out and Joe Torre at the plate, the exact call (word for word) was - "There's one, there's two, the game is over; the Mets are the champions. The game was never dull when Lindsey Nelson was on the air. Dan Roland "His recaps at the end of the game, with the field as the background, were great too. Without skipping a beat, he took out a pencil from an inside coat pocket, signed his name across the bag, smiled and said: "I don't think I've ever autographed a lunch before, but I hope you enjoy it!". In either 73 0r 74, his wife died at home of a stroke or a heart attack and his youngest daugther was disabled. Jeff Even though he was a Tennessee boy, he made Irish football come to life to this little 8-year-old boy that lived in Kansas City, Missouri. If you don't mind I will just wait a bit longer before I tune in! Roscoe Bernard Reading all of the above comments practically brings a tear to my eye. Ralph always did the 5th and 6th innings on TV, Lindsey or Bob would do the first four, and the other would do innings 7, 8, and 9. January 19, 2005 It went...WJRZ in Hackensack! What can you say about Lindsey, or for that matter the rest of the original three?

It was 1968 when I was bitten by the Met bug, that late run in 1969 when the Mets overtook the Chicago Cubs, I hear Lindsey Nelson saying "Agee is going to try for second, he's in there." With one out and Joe Torre at the plate, the exact call (word for word) was - "There's one, there's two, the game is over; the Mets are the champions. Lindsey had a warm and friendly voice and it was a pleasure listening to him call the games. Besides Nelson, we had Bob Murphy, Mel Allen, Red Barber and Vincent Edward Scully, the creme de la creme of sportscasting excellence.I will always remember Lindsey's class and professionalism along with those god awful sports coats he donned during the games. Missing was the soothing voices of Lindsey Nelson and Bob Murphy. The staff consisted of Joe and Gladys. ", I thought. Sound of the New York Mets! Over a thousand player transactions -- in chronological order! Paul Scelzo In his call of a Mets triple play in a '62 game, he said that Felix Mantilla was the second baseman involved when it was actually Charlie Neal. They probably had interviewed everyone of note that was in the press box that day to kill time. Ed K In his call of a Mets triple play in a '62 game, he said that Felix Mantilla was the second baseman involved when it was actually Charlie Neal. Here it is October 2008 and we still talk about Lindsey, what a tribute from all of us!

Though it lasted just a year, it was great to be reunited with the greatest sports broadcast team ever.I`ve never forgotten them, and with modern day announcers not wanting to just announce but be the show, the memories are more precious as time goes on.Over the last year, I have been able to purchase some of the Met broadcasts. Lindsey Nelson had a talent for taking you on the field, bringing you into the ballgame. October 13, 2005 I live only a few miles from where it used to be. I enjoyed listening to Lindsey Nelson calling baseball games on CBS Radio, and I enjoyed Mr. Nelson for all of those years he did Notre Dame Football, and all of those wonderful years he called NFL football, and the Cotton Bowl for CBS as well. They were perfect for adjusting the color knobs on your 19" "portable" Zenith. Back to Lindsey, you guys remember him announcing the World Series in 69 with Curt Gowdy on NBC.

I missed the broadcasts so much that I would scan my transistor radio for the Mets broadcasts. In his call of a Mets triple play in a '62 game, he said that Felix Mantilla was the second baseman involved when it was actually Charlie Neal.

Reading all the great tributes to Lindsey brings back great memories as a kid listening to the Mets games on my transistor radio. May 8, 2007

They probably had interviewed everyone of note that was in the press box that day to kill time. Very objective and a great broadcasting voice.The one memory that stands out dearly to me was when Bob Apodaca used to warm up for the Mets. Reading all of the above comments practically brings a tear to my eye. Wow what a group. Lindsey had a great voice and a great approach to play by play. Ron Football, baseball, he could do it all. I can remembering all the games I used to listern to on the radio when my parents thought I was asleep. mitch For me it was like old times at Shea. Joey from 14th street Paul Scelzo mark31656
