I was sad to learn that Giants broadcaster Lon Simmons has died. I grew up listening to Lon broadcast Giants games on KSFO. He started with the Giants, working with Russ Hodges, when the Giants came to San Francisco in 1958. I was sad when he retired in 1973 and happy when he came back in 1976. I was very sad when he went to the Oakland Athletics in 1981. I was happy again when he returned from 1996 to 2002. He entered the Hall of Fame in 2004. I liked his sense of humor and his dry delivery. I will miss his voice.
