Baseball and radio – a wonderful pairing!

Today we shared some significant September 30th moments in Major League Baseball:

1947: The World Series begins. The first to be televised, the first to feature an African-American player (Jackie Robinson) and the first to feature a pinch-hit home run.

1972: Roberto Clemente gets his 3,000th career hit against the Mets. It would be his last, as the Pirates’ future Hall of Famer dies in a plane crash on New Year’s Eve while flying relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.

1995: The Indians’ Albert Belle becomes the first MLB player to hit 50 home runs and 50 doubles in the same season. He does this in a 143-game shortened season. (This was also our trivia question to win the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup).

We also shared a bit of what you can expect tomorrow as we celebrate WNZR’s 34th anniversary…click here to be a part of the celebration!

Doesn’t matter just how many times I tried,
There could only be a single reason why,
So tell me.

Congratulations to Katie from Mount Vernon for correctly guessing that those lyrics were from Colton Dixon with this song Miracles. She won two $5 gift cards to Everlasting Cup since these lyrics were a stumper from last week’s game of Song Poetry.

Thanks for listening!

Signs, prayer and celebration!

Today we shared news about International Sign Language Day, See You at the Pole and WNZR’s anniversary.

First things first. Tonight, September 21 will see the return of See You At the Pole, but with a twist. This time, it will be Saw You at the Pole to promote social distancing. Invite your friends to join M.V.N.U.’s praised band and 3 other youth groups in praying for our nation. It starts at 7pm at the Mount Vernon City Square.

Next up we have our topic for Who Knew Wednesday. The UN General Assembly has proclaimed 23 September as the International Day of Sign Languages in order to raise awareness of the importance of sign language in the full realization of the human rights of people who are deaf. The theme for 2020 International Day of Sign languages is “Sign Languages Are for Everyone!”. Read more here!: https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/09/1073132

We had a stumper for our Who Knew Trivia Question today! We’ll be sure to bring it back next week!
