[Nfbmo] Baseball at it's finest.

Wed May 23 15:21:22 UTC 2012

When I was growing up, I had the best of both worlds. For several years 
Ernie Harwell and George Kell did the radio broadcasts. Then George went 
over to TV to be able to spend more time at home. It was fun listening to 
both. Now, as is also true of football the announcers want to spend time, on 
TV kabitzing among themselves as the game unfolds. Doesn't seem very fair to 
me, another example of broadcasters feeling like separate but equal.
