These Lists Get a Local Anesthetic

Was Chris Dufresne drinking before his “Last Call” [Dec. 27]. As far as worst trades in L.A. sports history go, how is trading a disgruntled Eric Dickerson, who just told John Robinson to run 47-gap, worse than the Dodgers trading away the best catcher in history in Mike Piazza? Was there a sadder moment than watching O.J. Simpson’s slow-speed chase and subsequent arrest in the murder of his wife Nicole?

As far as most embarrassing moments go, how about the Clippers’ three-point quarter against the Lakers just a few weeks ago? The worst owner without a doubt would be Georgia Frontiere unless you’re into group hugs.

Worst quote: “I’m the new sheriff in town” by Kevin Malone, followed by “I have won at every level except college and pros” by Shaquille O’Neal.

Any time you mention the greats like Chick Hearn and Vin Scully, you must also include Jaime Jarrin. Another great voice was ring announcer Jimmy Lennon.

Finally, a voice from my childhood, when the Olympic Auditorium was truly grand, the great Dick Lane. Listening to him announce roller derby and wrestling was exciting to say the least. How could you doubt that what you were seeing wasn’t real?
