A Tribute to Jim Elder

Harry King writes a fantastic memory of my old friend, the late legendary sports broadcaster, Jim Elder in the Stephens Media Group papers today. The press box at Ray Winder Field bears the name of Mr. Elder and Jim Bailey: The Jim Box. I have made the dangerous trek across that cat walk and King well explains that a new ball park does not mean the end of tradition.

Harry treats us to a Elder story that I never heard.

I am sure that, although the old Millard Fillmore Building (as we sued to call it) on I-630 has been completely rearranged since KARN vacated five years ago, somebody probably still finds one of Elders' eyeglasses about once a week.
