Consistent with the mythology of the age, I went to sleep listening to either Vin Scully describe baseball games or Chick Hearn paint his word pictures of basketball games (I also listened to music on that thing during the day sometimes, but that was incidental for me until I hit junior high school). I also stereotypically brought my transistor radio to school to listen to the World Series on ear plugs (sans knowledge of my mother). I also, again like the majority of boys in my class, got a crystal radio kit, but that was mostly a disappointing experience in my case. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
