[Dick Bavetta] wanted it to keep going so he could hear his name on TV. He actually paid an American Airlines employee to watch all the games he worked and write down everything the TV commentators said about him. No matter how late the game was over, he'd wake her up for a full report. He loved the attention.

This sounds like bonafide bullshit. If he had said "Once he actually paid someone blah blah blah.." then maybe, but noway do I believe he paid someone to watch every game and transcribe him getting his name said on TV.
That said, I'm sure there are plenty of kernels of truth in there as well.
