Agreed. I don't want a guy wearing a matching sweater and slacks, holding a megaphone, hoisting a girl high in the air (a cheerleader) in that radio booth. I'd rather have a mild-mannered modest gentleman in that booth calling the games. They have to keep you at attention and call each play fairly. Sense is needed in the booth. Partisanship is NOT permitted in the press box. That's one of the biggest concerns I have when I hear certain broadcasters doing games in the booth.

I yearn for the days of mild-mannered regular play by play men who know to be calm and remember they are not the show, the game IS the show. Describe it in a civilised manner.
