I was gonna say, if he's in his 80's he looks DAMN good for it! About five or six years ago a company I used to work for hired him to do "hosting" on an in-house video media kit. He still had his signature voice and style in spades and I felt like I was 10 years old watching The Movie Loft on WSBK all the way down in Connecticut - years before we got cable in our neighborhood. My cheeks hurt from grinning all afternoon.
Unfortunately a lot of the techie stuff we were having him read was sailing way over his head, so it took about 50 takes. But damned if he wasn't the consummate professional about it, and damned if the final product wasn't a slick piece of work.
To hell with David Lee Roth, let's give DANA his own talk show every morning! After all, in a baseball town like Boston, wouldn't you like to rely on the DH?
