Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 4707872, member: 716"] As a professional I got to sit at the Dome scorer's table twice. The first time, Carl came over to me well before the game started, cheerful as could be, gave a firm handshake, and went over the spelling and pronunciation of my name (understand, mind you, that there was no circumstance in which he'd be saying my name over the PA that night). The next season I came back, he naturally came over with a handshake and chat, and remembered my name from 12 months before. Now Carl was essentially a hero in my book long prior to this -- he's the voice of the Dome as far as I'm concerned -- but those interactions with him really solidified that. A thoroughly decent guy in addition to being the soundtrack of three decades of amazing basketball. [/QUOTE]
