Same with Vin Scully. I'd watch/listen to any game he was doing just because he was doing it and he wasn't especially funny.
Our local guy, Steve Jones, who does all the sports around here, can make a mid-season Monday evening New York-Penn League game witnessed by 500 people sound like the World Series.

What are y'all thinking about the playoffs? Whose going to win the AL and NL Central and which teams are going to win the wild card spots?
I'm shocked that the Cardinals are still in the mix given the lack of talent on that team. And I'm also shocked that the Brewers have lost any sense of the cycles of winning and losing that applies to every team except the Red Sox and Yankees. They opted to hold on to prospects instead of chasing down starting pitching during the off-season and the trade deadline.
MLB Network showing split screen: Blue Jays-Dodgers and Yankees-As. A good moment for me except that Yankees are losing and Jansen just gave up a home run. I'm stating the obvious, but Jansen is either going to turn it on during the playoffs or he is going to be the goat.

These uniforms are horrible. Why not go with retro uniforms. And while I think the nicknames idea is stupid, the white uniforms with white lettering defeats the purpose.

If I bought tickets to see Dodgers hosting the Yankees, I'd be really pissed off to find out that they were doing this players uniform weekend nonsense instead of seeing the teams wearing their classic uniforms.Last edited by danielmak; 26-08-2019, 06:08.

No ratings, though I've seen the audience estimated at 3,000 (less than a tenth of those present at Ebbets Field)
There were about 400 sets in the New York metropolitan area, though there were a couple at the World's Fair, which would have drawn crowds.
