Argh! I was one of the play-by-play men for the San Jose Bees the year Steve 
Howe was on the team (the Bad News Bees, as they were called). You had a herd 
of ex-major leaguers who couldn't adjust to not being major leaguers 
exibiting similar behavior, (plus a few who were actually serious about 
getting back to the bigs). To bring it full-circle: the intro-outro music we 
used was the B-52's "Whammy."
