Man o man, does THAT bring back memories! Sitting in a classroom full of people and all the guys looked they had hearing aids on. Those hokey old earplug speakers, wires running behind their ears, tucked inside their collars, exiting out between the 2nd and third buttons on their shirt and plugged into that 4 lb transistor radio "hidden" in the front left pocket. Everybody turning in their seats to get the clearest reception, changing seats to get out from under the neon lights. Actually staying in their seats when the class change bell rang waiting for the final out of the inning, praying for rain so Gym class would be canceled (tough to hide a radio in gym trunks and tee-shirts), not speaking to Donny/Frank/Ralph 'cause he was a Cardinals/Dodgers/anybody but the Yankees fan...
