NationStates

It's been a while since I mentioned NationStates, although it is part of my daily routine.

Go have a look at The Armed Republic of Efate.

Some great news!

Bay Area sports casting legend Lon Simmons has been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame!

Lon will receive the Ford C. Frick award, and become the 29th honoree in the broadcaster's wing.

Lon called everybody in the SFBA in his 41-year career. The Giants, A's. 49ers.. His trademark homerun call "you can tell it goodbye!" was used as the theme of the last season at Candlestick and was written into John Fogerty's Centerfield

You can hear two of his classic calls: The Giants winning the NL pennant in 1962, and a Willie Mays homer here. (Requires Quicktime)
