Just sitting here thinking about how much baseball we’ve learned over the last 50 years from Mike Shannon and Rick Hummel. So much mutual respect between the legends. #stlcards

Congrats to #TheCommish on 50 years at the Post-Dispatch. He has been just an absolute joy to sit next to in the (appropriately-named) press box every day. The best part of this job is picking the brains of others, and there’s hardly a better person to learn from.

Fifty years ago I walked into the Post-Dispatch newsroom. They haven't told me to leave yet. Thanks to all who have helped/supported me these many years.

@cmshhummel A true legend, Commish. Congratulations on your 50 years. Next year will be my 50th in broadcasting. We’re just kids.

@cmshhummel Congratulations, Rick. Am counting on you to continue enlightening and entertaining readers and colleagues at least through your (baseball) diamond anniversary.

Happy 50th P-D anniversary to Commish, who taught me a ton when I sat next to him in the press box and still lets me learn from him from across the state. Decades of knowledge & experience but never holds it above anybody. A true pro, great mentor & wonderful person. Congrats!!
