Take a Virtual Tour with Dave at 21st Century Pools and Spas. Did Dave just kick that pool? Yes. Yes he did.
See for yourself.

Dave Sears is a native New Englander who cast aside aspirations as an accountant to dabble in radio, and the dabbling led to a career. He has been with WRNX since its inception in 1990, the station's successive owners somehow being unable to get rid of him.

He chose his on-air name unwisely; fending off challenges from the now-vanished Caldor or Grant department-store chains would have been easier than coping with Sears, but things eventually worked out okay.

His burning ambition is to marry into money but so far this has been thwarted by a persistent heiress shortage and by his many cherished eccentricities, like shaving at bedtime and conversing with yard squirrels.

As for music, Dave's tastes run the gamut from The Stones and R.E.M. to Erroll Garner's grunt-laden piano standards.

Name: Dave "Sears" (why didn't I choose "Caldor?" They're out of business and wouldn't hassle me for using the name)

Spouse: To quote the last line of a brief and pointed letter I once got, "Any woman stupid enough to marrry you would deserve everything she gets."

Favorite movie quote: "You're a major loon, you know." -- Love & Death

Favorite book: A Confederacy Of Dunces- John Kennedy Toole

Favorite cartoon: Bullwinkle

Most interesting job held: Classified-ad clerk at a small-town newspaper. When someone places an $8 ad to sell a $5 pair of old bowling shoes, that's when you know things have gone too far.

Most famous person you've met: Kevin Bacon (which puts me within Six Degrees Of Betsy Palmer)

One Strike

Tuesday 07-08-2008 10:51am ET

Yeah, it's another baseball item. This time it concerns an event so obscure that they presumably don't even keep track of it. Aaron Heilman of the Mets struck out a batter on one pitch the other night. How, you ask? Well, Heilman entered the game with a 2-2 count on Ryan Howard and threw one strike to end the inning. Under the scoring rules, Heilman gets credit for the strikeout. This must be even rarer than striking out four guys in an inning.
