Other Ways to Come Out a Winner at the Ballpark

With car headlights now automatic in many new cars, it seems drivers take for granted that their headlights are on when in fact they are not and should be. I've lost count of the number of cars I've seen on the road without lights in the last month.

Do you think it would help if traffic reporters reminded people to make sure their headlights are on when the sun starts going down? Late traffic reporter Walt Starling used to do it every night. And once the law went into effect requiring drivers to have headlights on when using windshield wipers, traffic reporters gave helpful reminders then, too.
