Read: Q&A with Keith Hernandez
Tonight, during the Mets-Marlins broadcast, SNY’s broadcast team will be silent during the sixth inning, allowing for the natural sounds of the ballpark.
…natural sounds of the ballpark… really… you mean, like, loud music, constant contests, party patrols, commercials and sing-a-longs… or, like, the sound of the bat, crowd noise and vendors… just checking…
Tomorrow night, Gary Cohen will get the night off, meaning only Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez will be in the broadcast booth.
…oh, man, i hope it’s a blowout…
Speaking of Keith Hernandez…
In a post for the San Francisco Chronicle, Michael Malone has a Q&A he did with Hernandez, who was born in San Francisco, during which he talks about his opinion of the Giants, the 49ers and growing up in the Bay Area.
Malone was kind enough to e-mail me five questions and answers that he did not use in his blog post, dealing with Seinfeld and acting, which you can read below:
Malone: I read that the Seinfeld cast is going to be on an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm…
Hernandez: What’s that?
Malone: The Larry David show on HBO.
Hernandez: Oh yeah, I read something about that.
Malone: As a Seinfeld veteran, can you get yourself in on that?
Hernandez, : Oh no, no, I’m out.
Malone: No more acting?
Hernandez: I never really pursued acting as a career. I was in New York and we won the World Series and it’s amazing what things do. Things just kind of fell in my lap when I said I was retired. But I never took acting lessons and never went out and did auditions to actively pursue acting as a career. I just had fun with it and took advantage of the opportunity, and it’s been a wonderful experience.
Malone: How much longer do you figure you’ll be announcing games for SNY?
Hernandez: I don’t like to look far into the future. I’m enjoying my work. I don’t see myself retiring or not doing this in the near future. You never know how you’re going to feel 5-6-7 years down the road, or even three years down the road. But I’m enjoying what I’m doing and have no thought about packing it in.
