“I came across this gem of a book I had stored by the greatest announcer in @Orioles history. The autograph is from the day I was hired to come to Baltimore. Wow, almost 25 yrs ago. Chuck was a great broadcaster & person. He was so kind to me. @masnOrioles @mlb, @baseballhall https://t.co/LOCxpSK71Y” (from X)

Hall of Fame broadcaster Chuck Thompson, with the assistance of veteran Associated Press sportswriter Gordon Beard, shares a personal play-by-play account of his celebrated career and life in this newly updated paperback edition of Ain't the Beer Cold! Since his broadcasting beginnings fresh out of high school in 1939, Thompson has served with the Armed Forces in World War II, relaxed as a one-man audience for a crooning Bing Crosby, and done sportscasting for the Phillies, A's, Senators, and Orioles. In 1993, Thompson's broadcasting achievement was honored with a place in the Broadcasters' Wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Whether it's his stories about the fable championship team, the Baltimore Orioles, or his heartfelt remembrances of departed colleagues and record-breaking performances, Thompson offers a delightful and insightful perspective on his profession, its people, and its place in the heart of American sports.
