Sager began his career in 1972 as a reporter for WXLT (now WWSB-Channel 40) in Sarasota, FL. He was waiting for Hank Aaron at third base and interviewed him on the way to home plate after Aaron hit his 715th home run, breaking the record held by Babe Ruth.[SUP][2][/SUP] Sager can be easily recognized in the fracas at home plate after the home run because of the long white overcoat that he was wearing.

Yes, a very positive concept. In some of our eyes. I'm just razzing you tho, I dig that not all are down with the Loud Colors and very unusual styles. Which is great cuz of all if us were into the exact same stuff this place would a whole lot less interesting. :toast:
“Sports are supposed to be fun, and so I had fun with the way I dressed,” Sager said. “I used to get reprimanded, but then at the 2002 All-Star Game, commissioner [David] Stern was making fun of me and then his wife says, ‘David, stop that. I like those suits.’ And once I won the commissioner’s wife over, it all changed. It was a huge breakout moment.”
Charles Barkley, his colleague at TNT, has joked that Sager looked like a “pimp.”
