“Shulman was also honoured by Sports Illustrated magazine that same month as the top national announcer in the U.S. for the first decade of this century.”
Wow, that is indeed some high praise. Shulman is obviously very good, but I didn’t think he got that kind of recognition nationally down south.
I liked Jon Miller, and grew up watching him on Sunday Night Baseball (Joe Morgan I guess grew on me a bit too, but he would fumble around with his words too much), so it’ll be different without Jon and Joe going forward.
Miller & Morgan were bad but this crew is even worse… mainly because there are three of them! This a VISUAL medium… can’t they shut up for a moment or two???!!!
