On Friday, we talked about the economic impact and quality of life enhanced by our professional sports teams and competitive events we have at all levels here in Erie. With us were Sean Pebbles, the voice of the Erie Bayhawks and Cleveland Cavaliers, Ben Huggler, Event Services Manager of the Erie Sports Commission, and Greg Coleman, President of the Erie Seawolves. At the end of the show Joel’s grown children joined him to chat about their memories of growing up in Erie and enjoying events around town. In the studio were Joel Natalie Jr., Joshua Natalie, and Jennifer Natalie.
