Fresno Falcons-5 Bakersfield Fog-3, Feb 1,1997 Part 1

I had the pleasure of spending one season doing color commentary with long time friend Fred Salas covering the Fog in Bakersfield. I did 20 games including 2 playoff games. We were doing radio and they allowed us to call the action for this video like a simulcast. This Fog team was coached by Keith Gretzky Waynes brother. This game was played in the old Bakerfield Convention Center before the new arena was built. The camera work is shaky because this was filmed by workers at the arena and not cameramen. This was only my 2nd year of doing sports on tv and radio so I was a work in progress. We called the games from a metal overhang that was near center ice. We use to have to climb this long ladder just to get to the top of a long metal plank. Long time Bakerfield Californian reporter Mike Griffith use to sit with us while doing the games. This was the third season of the teams existence and the first year they made the playoffs. Game was played Feb 1, 1997Glen Gulutzan who was named Head Coach of the Dallas Stars plays for fresno in this game.

I only have one copy of this game and a few other Fog games. The good part is you can see it anytime you want here on youtube.
