Weirder still -- Vin Scully doing NFL football. Late 70s I think. What's wrong with this picture?

Almost (underline that, gang) the same thing that was wrong when ABC imposed Howard Cosell on baseball (you have heard of fish out of water, no?), with one critical difference: even having a go at football, Vin Scully was class. Howard Cosell was merely crass.

Frankly, if I were to be named commissioner of baseball (yeah, riiiiiight!), my first fiat (after proclaiming that no man who was now or ever had been a baseball owner would ever be deemed eligible to serve as commissioner again in the future) would be that Vin Scully should broadcast the World Series until he dies, no matter which network gets the rights to the Series any year. Some things are just too damn good to lose.

Frankly, if I were to be named commissioner of baseball....

Hopefully, you'd:
A) scrap the DH in the AL.
B) scrap interleague play. (It's destroying both the World Series and the all-star game).
C) scrap the wild card, and go back to two divisions per league.
D) outlaw artificial turf.
E) institute a salary cap (I'm against revenue sharing).

Hallelujah! I've been saying that for years. Every fall, I search the radio for some station, any station with Vin doing the World Series. If you're going to have the best teams going at it, you need the best announcer.
