Old Walla Walla Radio Remembered 41--Mike Cherry Calls Baseball

  

Mike Cherry, in 1973, was named radio announcer for the Walla Walla Padres in 1973. The games were broadcast on KUJ.  

This articles was sent by my brother, Steve.  

Cherry would later serve the area as county assessor.  He was a Democrat, but was married to the daughter of a prominent Walla Walla Republican. This probably did much to get him elected in a mostly Repubican Walla Walla County. 

Cherry did set me up to interview for a job at KUJ, but I was close to graduation and planned to leave the area to go to college.
