[PRCo] A trip down memory lane for Grateful Fred...

[dwightlong]

The long time, beloved Pirates announcer Rosey Rowswell, long before the televising of games, used to “create” the away game play by play from ticker tape.  Whenever a Pirate (usually Ralph Kiner) hit a homer, he would exclaim “Open the window, Aunt Minnie, here she comes!”  and then there would be a loud crashing sound.

You had to be a Pirates fan of long standing to appreciate this.

Bob got it!
