 A lifelong Padres fan, and friend of Bob July 17, 2006
I grew up in San Diego, watching Bob Chandler on old KOGO-TV, when it was Channel 10, and an NBC affiliate. And I've seen Chandler go to a new station, KCST-Channel 39. I've seen Chandler broadcast the minor league San Diego Padres games on that channel.
I recall a game televised from Phoenix's Municipal Stadium in 1968, where the Padres pulled a triple play on a hot summer night, versus the Phoenix Giants (the farm team of the San Francisco Giants). Later on Bob told me that the TV camera was burning that night.
For many years I've enjoyed listening to and talking with Bob Chandler whenever I work at the Padres' games. The book validates his fame to San Diego baseball. There is not a word of dissappointment in his book, and I find most of it humourous.
He works hard at his game. Bob is among the happiest men I know. His book equals fice stars. I enjoyed reading it.
A Book for All Padre Fans July 15, 2006
Have you ever heard a bad baseball story? No. They are all good! Most of them I have heard before but they are all good again. I would have liked them to be more in a continuous date pattern from the beginning to the current. I have always liked Bob Chandler as a broadcaster and hearing him do the Padre games on radio and wished that he were still doing them rather than L------er. Bob knows baseball 1st hand so much better and has a very comfortable voice to listen to....I read the book listening to his voice orate the history of the Padres.
 Not all the tales July 14, 2006
As a Padres fan, this is the book for your 12 year old son to learn about the team's history. Bob Chandler is just too nice of a person to include many of the juicier details. Still, it had to be part of my collection and I'm glad I made the purchase.
