Browns Luncheon with Lasorda & Costas on Local TV and Internet

The July 16 luncheon of the St. Louis Browns Fan Club is set to be broadcast three times during the coming week. This is the luncheon with guests Tommy Lasorda and Bob Costas. The times are:

     Saturday, Aug. 14 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
     Sunday, Aug. 15 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The video is available through Charter Cable and ATT u-Verse television on the following channels.

     Charter - Channel 994
     ATT u-Verse – Channel 99

On u-Verse, your screen will show this as a LOCAL GOVERNMENT, EDUCATION AND PUBLIC ACCESS channel. Follow the instructions on the screen. The next screen will allow you to access various public information from various localities. We assume you will need to select the ST. LOUIS CHANNELS to access the program. I assume this may be the same with Charter Cable.

The video is a service of News Channel 20. You can also view the luncheon on the Internet by going to http://www.news20tv.com at the above times. Click on the GTN logo to go live.

Now . . . this will probably be a first for you as it was for me. While I knew the Local Government and Public Access channels were there, it was one I have never watched . . . so we’re all learning something new. I guess we will all find out if this works come Thursday evening. You may want to check out your appropriate TV channel and also visit the News20tv.com web site beforehand.

The luncheon will also be available on DVD. We expect to receive copies within the next few days. (Click on Photos to Enlarge)

If you're not a member of the St. Louis Browns Historical Society and Fan Club, please consider a donation of only $25 to help support programs of this nature . . . and receive the Browns magazine, Pop Flies. Just send a short note along with your check payable to the St. Louis Browns Fan Club to Rick Stamper, 509 Geyer Rd., Kirkwood, MO 63122.

St. L Browns Fan Club Hosts Annual Luncheon

Two of the biggest names in sports were on hand for the July 16 annual luncheon of the St. Louis Browns Fan Club. More than 155 attendees enjoyed the presentations from Tommy Lasorda, Bob Costas and 6 former Browns players dating back to 1944. Also on hand was Erma Bergmann, a professional baseball pitcher from the 40s and the All American Girls Base League. She was one of the real players from the movie “A League of Their Own.”

Also in attendance were Bill DeWitt, III, President of the St. Louis Cardinals; Fred Buchholz, former batboy for the Browns and Cardinals from the 40s & 50s; Rosanne Delsing, wife of popular Browns player, Jim Delsing; Joan DeWitt McKean, daughter of Browns owner Bill DeWitt, Sr.; Chuck Diering, signed by the Browns but became a popular face with the Cardinals; Bo Drochelman, Grandson of Browns’ George Sisler; Julie Drochelman, Great Granddaughter of Hall of Famer, George Sisler; Bob Muncrief, III, grandson of Bob Muncrief of the Browns and Greg Marecek, President of the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame.

Bob Costas came as an unannounced guest and introduced Tommy Lasoda. Before introducing him he showed a video on the Browns and Eddie Gaedel, the midget, and all of the special promotions Bill Veeck tried. But it was Tommy Lasorda stole the show. As guest, Ron Paul, said, “He was awesome and inspiring.”
