Whether he fears further reprisal from Evander Holyfield, an overzealous female admirer ala Bob Uecker, or perhaps just “phone calls from local radio stations” (?), Dodgers radio voice Charley Steiner had an interesting personal revelation during today’s call of LA’s 9-3 defeat of the Fish.
Steiner checks into hotel rooms under an assumed name. “It’s not out of ego,” protested the broadcaster, admitting that sometimes he has “a lot of explaining to do” if he’s misplaced his room key and I.D.
Indeed, because I think we’ll can all agree Charley would have a rough time passing for Michael Stipe.
Does Steiner’s resemblance (in that lovely pic up there) to Jeff “Skunk” Baxter mean anything?
