In decades past, a lot of announcers worked that way. That's how I like it. They were talking to us, the listeners and viewers.
These days, with two or three men in the booth, they're talking to each other.

Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy (Bosox) drive me NUTS.

Of course, but how many still have solo TV broadcasts?
I would tend to think radio might have more solo guys if there any out there, does Uecker call the Brewers radio broadcast solo? Any Brewers fans know? Jon Miller has always been great, but I don’t think he does them solo, or at least he didn’t with the O’s.

and always talking. A guy hits a double or runs for a 5 years gain and they replay it 2-3 times and talk over it as if it’s the second coming of Babe Ruth.
There was a guy on TV CBS in the early 60s, I think Jim Scott. He would say Hornung runs right. Gain of 4. Third and six. and he would be quiet for awhile. I sometimes turn off the sound just to stop the noise.
I can do my own replays if I need them. Rather than see some routine play 3 times.
I know I’m getting old.
What’s with all the loud rock music blaring at the arenas and stadia? I can hardly goto a game anymore. I want baseball to be pastoral ala George Carlin and not try to compete with the NBA.
