>>>You can probably guess which game I watched. Do I have an ounce of regret? Nope. It was a beautiful game and a beautiful two month run by the Giants, who won their first World Series since moving to California in 1958. This morning was soon enough to check the score of the Colts-Texans game.

I take it you have not listened to much baseball on the radio <g>, or at least not by anyone very good. To do baseball well on the radio is not easy. You are the listener's eyes so you have to describe the action and also fill in the spaces between pitches, during pitching changes, etc. (And you can't just holler like the football announcers <g>). The best ones tend to be very good storytellers and have amiable styles which wear well. Listening to guys like Vin Scully or Ernie Harwell is like spending time with a great friend.
