I listened to Vin Scully broadcast Dodger games as a kid for I don't know how many summers. He was always smooth as silk, modest as burlap and always knew the whole game and that particular game. He was so good I thought Dick Enberg was terrible...and then I moved away for college, listened to other radio broadcasters and finally realized how lucky I was as a kid.
The current crop of baseball broadcasters are so average or bad I just don't listen or watch any longer. Joe Buck and McCraver should be shot or their mouths taped shut. Ironically, Joe Buck is the son of Jack Buck (the only true peer Scully ever had) and I think that speaks volumes of about the current state of baseball, not worth listening to.
