I watched the game, as I always do. Great game, not so great announcers. Brent Musburger showed little excitement throughout the whole game.
Brent played in the same Little League (it’s had many different names, it was Rose Park Little League when I played in Burlington LL) as the Billings team. His dad brought Little League baseball to Billings.
I think he was kind of wiped out after being on an emotional high being able to call some games for the LL he played in as a kid. While that’s not a valid excuse, and while Brent did give a great call of Pratto’s final hit, it’s understandable to me.
I imagine calling that US championship game was a very surreal career moment for Musburger, and it took a lot out of him.
