So true about the “guttural illiterates.” As Phil Mushnick, sports columnist for the New York Post has said (I’m paraphrasing a bit), “So many announcers say they idolize Vin Scully, but so few announce a game like Vin Scully.” Vin knew when to say nothing and let the game speak for itself, that’s a lost art today.
Exactly...when Joe Carter hit his walk off homer in the 1993 WS Vin let the crowd have its say. He was doing the national radio feed and you can hear it here with the video from the tv broadcast.

I once listened to a Padres radio broadcast...I think his name is Ted Leitner...
I got annoyed listening to him...Yes, he works for Padres...But, he sounded so biased...
Scully worked for Dodgers....He however tried very hard to stay objective...
