Here's Part 4 of an interesting "backstage" glimpse at some local TV personalities of yore - raw footage shot at a dinner event "roasting" Tim Weigel. (Roasting Weigel's Wiener?) Included are such notables as Fahey Flynn, Ray Meyer, Joel Daly, Bill Veeck, Al Lerner, Bill Gleason, Jack Brickhouse, and more. (Can anyone help ID any? They don't have to be famous, if you know who someone is, let me know)
Part 4 includes former ballplayer and White Sox broadcaster Jimmy Piersall roasting Tim.
(Note: This is the end of Tape 1 of 5 of the Roast - the other tapes aren't available right now, so we won't get to continue this for a couple months or so) :-(
My thanks to Jenniffer Weigel, who wanted it to be known that she believes in our little museum, and who graciously donated this recording so that it could be shared with everyone. :-)
According to the date on the tape, this was recorded on Wednesday, February 11th 1981. (not sure if any of the footage was used on that night's news or not)

Jimmy Piersall
James Anthony Piersall (born November 14, 1929) is an American former baseball center fielder who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for five teams, from 1950 through 1967. Piersall is best known for his well-publicized battle with bipolar disorder that became the subject of the book and movie Fear Strikes Out.
Early life
Piersall led the Leavenworth High School (Waterbury, Connecticut) basketball team to the 1947 New England championship, scoring 29 points in the final game.
Athletic career
Piersall became a professional baseball player at age 18, signing a contract with the Boston Red Sox in 1948. He would reach Major League Baseball in 1950, playing in six games as one of its youngest players.
In 1952, he earned a more substantial role with the Red Sox, frequently referring to himself as "the Waterbury Wizard", a nickname not well received by teammates.
On June 10, 1953, he set the Red Sox club record for hits in a 9 inning game, with 6.
Personal problems
On May 24, 1952, just before a game against the New York Yankees, Piersall engaged in a fistfight with Yankee infielder Billy Martin. Following the brawl, Piersall briefly scuffled with teammate Mickey McDermott in the Red Sox clubhouse. After several such incidents, including Piersall spanking the four-year-old son of teammate Vern Stephens in the Red Sox clubhouse during a game, he was sent down to the minor league Birmingham Barons on June 28.

Famous quotes by Jimmy Piersall:
"Nutrition makes me puke."
"Probably the best thing that happened to me was going nuts. Nobody knew who I was until that happened."
"I didn't get hurt in the contest. I hurt it the next day."
"You touch me and I'll kick you in the rear."
"I didn't mind if they yelled at me, but when they came on the field, it was a different story."
"I'm the gooney bird that walked to the bank. I'm doing better than most of those guys who said I was crazy."
"If you want to talk to me, you'll have to put out that cigarette."
"I asked my doctor how many more years I have left and he said, 'You're too ornery to die.'"
"I've had 117 fights and that's the first time I've ever won."
"We should have won the pennant that year. It was the best club I was ever on."
"I feel great. I had a triple bypass in 1976 and a quadruple bypass in 1984."

Here's Part 4 of an interesting "backstage" glimpse at some local TV personalities of yore - raw footage shot at a dinner event "roasting" Tim Weigel. (Roasting Weigel's Wiener?) Included are such notables as Fahey Flynn, Ray Meyer, Joel Daly, Bill Veeck, Al Lerner, Bill Gleason, Jack Brickhouse, and more. (Can anyone help ID any? They don't have to be famous, if you know who someone is, let me know)
Part 4 includes former ballplayer and White Sox broadcaster Jimmy Piersall roasting Tim.
(Note: This is the end of Tape 1 of 5 of the Roast - the other tapes aren't available right now, so we won't get to continue this for a couple months or so) :-(
My thanks to Jenniffer Weigel, who wanted it to be known that she believes in our little museum, and who graciously donated this recording so that it could be shared with everyone. :-)
According to the date on the tape, this was recorded on Wednesday, February 11th 1981. (not sure if any of the footage was used on that night's news or not)
