Probably the most exciting time was going to cover the Pirates. Despite the fact they were a losing team and they were in the process of dismantling their team, it was great to cover 'the other side.' I had the chance to do 'stringer' work for a company Radio PA in Pennsylvania. I got paid $25 a day to do it. Sweetness! I loved covering baseball, now my first chance to cover professional baseball and make a buck.
My duties included getting audio from the manager and a few players, then writing and voicing a game wrap of :30sec tied towards Pittsburgh. THEN send the clips, with a cut sheet describing it all to them it PA to use!
Pretty awesome. I did it for Monday's and Wednesday's games. Pirates won the Wednesday game.
