I’m not familiar with Mr. Simmons, but on recordings he sounds as you would expect and want a Baseball Broadcaster to sound, clear, manly, excited and precise ,but w/o overtalking.
The way they used to do it.
Charley Slowes, the radio voice of the Nationals, is of the old school, but not many are.
1500 AM, which carries their games, is a 50,000-watt clear channel, so you might be able to pick it up, depending on where you are.
“You would expect and want a Baseball Broadcaster to sound, clear, manly, excited and precise, but w/o overtalking.”
And he was exactly that. He was right up there with the best.
He was a true gentleman and a great fan of sports in general. His calls on baseball were ever knowledgeable and funny.
