In 1973, I had the chance to interview renowned sportscaster, Lindsey Nelson.  At the time I was a teenager and the radio station at which I was interning was part of the New York Mets radio network.  Early in the season the Mets held affiliates day for all of the stations on the Mets network.  Players, manager Yogi Berra and others were available for pregame interviews.  Among the people I caught with that day, almost 50 years ago, was Nelson. Nelson, who is in 13 different Halls of Fame, including the broadcasting wings of the baseball and football halls, had quite a resume.  Not only was he the "Voice of the New York Mets," he later went on to broadcast for the San Francisco Giants and before for that broadcast the "Baseball Game of the Week" on network television. Although Mets' fans remember Nelson, notorious for his colorful sports jackets (he reportedly owned more than 300 of them at one time), on baseball, he also was renowned for broadcasting college football and NFL games.  He  worked golf and tennis matches as well, but his college football broadcast workload was legendary.  He broadcast 26 Cotton Bowls, five Sugar Bowls, four Rose Bowls and was the host of the Notre Dame football game of the week, when a Notre Dame game would be condensed into one hour.  He also won an Emmy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1991. Nelson was born in Pulaski, Tennessee on May 25, 1919 and died of Parkinson's disease on June 10, 1995.  A graduate of the University of Tennessee in 1941, where he taught English, Nelson rose to captain in the U.S. Army, during World War II, serving in North Africa and Europe.  He also played on an Army baseball team managed by Harry "The Hat" Walker. The stadium at which the University of Tennessee baseball team plays is named Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
