| | Conan, Neal: Play by Play: Baseball, Radio, and Life in the Last Chance League (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | For 25 years, Neal Conan was one of National Public Radio's top correspondents, traveling to the remote reaches of the globe and covering the major stories of our times. |
 | | But in 2000, Neal left his position at NPR to become, of all things, a baseball announcer for, of all teams, the Aberdeen Arsenal, a small franchise of the independent Atlantic League. |
 | | From his position in the announcer's booth, on the team bus, and in hotels and motels along the way, he met the coaches, fans, and, of course, the players -- men who are on the way out, rather than up, but happy to still be getting paid to play ball. |
