1. Why has Keith been doing his show from a Florida? (n/t)

[gkhouston]

2. so he can watch spring training

KO is a huge baseball fan.

5. Did you know Keith had his first book on baseball published when he was

14 years old?

[gkhouston]

6. yeah, I heard it was history of base coaches or some such.

His mom's supposedly a big baseball fan, too. I guess that's how he got started on it at such an early age, although I don't know if she's as deep into the baseball history aspect of it as he is. When he talks about such-and-such a player from 1887, it's like an episode of You Are There; he really knows his stuff.

3. Spring Training

Keith is a big sports guy. He was a sportscaster before he was a newsie.

[Stevendsmith]

4. Ah, thanks! (n/t)

[MADem]

8. And he actually worked for (recoil in horror) Faux!!!

But there's a lesson in that--one CAN wash the stink away!

[Brazenly Liberal]

9. That's right! I forgot he was at F*cked News!

My Gawd, it must have been torture - doing what he loves, but doing it for someone he loathes.

The best part of this whole O'Reilly thing is that it makes BO so furious he may stroke out over it, but Keith seems to enjoy it more and more the longer it goes on. Which, I'm sure, makes BO even MORE furious.

11. I seem to remember...

that Keith quit or was fired from Faux because he REFUSED to continually cover the Clinton Lewinski story. That's why I think he makes the statement...and now,..stories my Producers make me cover.

10. Kirby Pucket

I believe that is where Pucket was when he died - definately where Minnesota was for spring training, so maybe just to interview some of them (he interviewed the head coach that day and a couple players) and he has been there ever since.I should try to go down there tomorrow to say hi and thanks (Im in orlando). Maybe I can cruise down there after work

7. Addressing O'Reilly, or Bonds? Will watch either way.
