2/9/14 at 8:53 PM from Ithaca, NY Today I was reminded of a joke about Howard Cosell, as told by Tom Grieve (TV color comontater for the Texas Rangers Baseball team). I was 13 or 14 yrs old in 1964 or '65 when Tom, who lived accross the street from me on Elm St. in Pittsfield, Ma., had not yet imagined in his wildest dreams at that time, that he would later have the job of TV color comontater for a professional baseball team. But he told me and a few people who were at his house at the time, this joke about Howard Cosell, the famous Football TV commentator. He said; "Howard Cosell fell in love with a potato. And he went to 'Ma, and Pa' "Tater" to ask for their daughters 'spud' in marriage. Mr Cosell was surprised at the answer of Ma, & Pa 'Tater' ! They said, "We're sory Mr Cosell, but we are the King and Queen of 'Tater Land' ! We are Royalty!We are Royal Taters! But you, Mr. Cosell are nothing but a mere "Comon-tater" ! It is to me quite amazing that Tom Grieve told this joke in 1964, or '65, long before he even began to play professional baseball, which was also long before he was inducted into the Texas Rangers Baseball Hall Of Fame (On July 24/2010). And also long before he managed Texas Rangers Baseball Team for ten yrs. And, more to the point, took the job of TV color comontater for the team. These facts are verifiable and shown as Toms Baseball stats through Google or any search vehicle.Now of course baseball, and football are two very different sports. Howard Cosell was famous for his Football commentating, and not baseball. But still and all a comontater does the same thing, no matter what sport or politic he/she is reporting on. William C.
