Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Q&A with Giants radio announcer Dave Flemming

Here's an interview with second-year Giants radio announcer Dave Flemming.
On the Air: If you look back at last year, what was your best moment and what was your worst moment?

D.F.: The best moment broadcast-wise was probably doing Barry's 700th home run call. Because literally, I could do this for 40 more years and never have a moment like that to call. I mean, who knows? A lot of guys do this for a long, long time and they don't ever do a perfect game, they don't do a historic home run, they don't do a World Series. So, just to have a moment like that and have it turn out that it was in an inning that I was doing, was pretty remarkable. So, from a broadcast standpoint, that was the highlight, but there were a lot of little moments where, in the "Wrap," even during a commercial break where there was something we were laughing about as broadcasters ... There are a lot of memories that stick out to me of stuff like that. As far as a worst moment goes, my mind works in such a funny way that I just don't really remember that kind of stuff. I'm sure there was a moment where I screwed a call up, or something happened that didn't go right but ... I was having such a good time last year ... I can definitely remember some moments in the minor leagues where that kind of stuff happened, but there wasn't the positive energy that was washing over that.

I think Flemming needs more "seasoning" before I can truly enjoy his play-by-play, but he and Greg Papa are light-years better than Joe Angel.
