A couple of ex-Midwest League Announcers are in the playoffs with their new teams.
In the International League, Mike VanderWood -- formerly of the Dayton Dragons -- called the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees splitting the first two games of their first round playoff series in Pawtucket. Games 3, 4, and (if necessary) 5 are home games for the Yankees and game three is tonight.
Game one story. Game two story.
Meanwhile, Randy Wehofer -- formerly of the Burlington Bees -- has been helping to call the action as the Iowa Cubs have been playing the Oklahoma RedHawks in Des Moines for round one of the Pacific Coast League Playoffs. Those teams have also split their first two games. Games, 3, 4, and (if necessary) 5 are in Oklahoma City. Game three is tonight in Oklahoma.
Game one story. Game two story.
I mention this for two reasons.
#1.) It is good to see friends get into the playoffs. If there are two guys that deserve a little playoff success, those two guys would be Mike and Randy.
#2.) If the Yankees and Cubs make it through their respective league playoffs, they will meet in the 2009 Bricktown Showdown.
Good luck to both.
