i wonder which broadcasters you baseball-fevers like the most.

(please try to stay with national broadcasters).

i m pretty keen of ESPN's Jon Miller & Joe Morgan (though Joe sometimes tries to know to much) and Fox's NLCS-Team Thom Brennaman & Bob Brenly (the best color around i think).

Joe Buck is making his dad, Jack, proud as the best one out there.

For the radio, I love hearing Mike Shannon's voice.

Ernie Harwell is my favorite, knowledgable and professional. Not prone to homerism like so many team broadcasters. His TV counterpart for so many years, George Kell, was one of the best former players-turned-broadcasters in any sport.
Jon Miller is good, very good. And Joe Buck is getting there. He is well able to point out the absurd, especially when it's coming from his partner's mouth. I remember a comment he made during one of the football playoff games, when his partner in the booth (Troy Aikman?) said something along the lines of where the game (Giants-Panthers) was living up to expectations. Buck said something to the effect that the expectations must not have been too high.

Gene Elston,(why hasn't the HOF acknowledge him with the Frick award?), Jack Brickhouse, Milo Hamilton, Vin Scully,(smooth as silk),Harry Caray,(after his stroke, he went downhill. Painful to listen a legend after he lost his greatness). Dave Campbell, Lou Boudreau, Steve Stone, Pete Vanwerien(sic).

Don't know about you guys, but give someone who doesn't throw out stupid nicknames while broadcasting,(Chris Berman). Give me a broadcaster who gives out stats during the game.

Ya got yer wish! Congrats to Elston on the Frick award. Gary Thorne is a great voice, so much so you let him get away with the occasional wig-out.

Pretty good at doing what? Do they have some other job besides announcing?

I'll stick with Ernie Harwell. He did it into his 80's.
Cleveland had a good announcer Jimmy (something or other) for years.

In St. Louis, we had Harry Caray or Jack Buck behind the mic from 1945-2001 [together from 54-69] pretty hard to top that.

I grew with Harry Caray, so I just love him. Today I like Costas or Al Michaels.

Ernie is my favorite radio guy. I grew listening to him in Michigan.

Ernie Harwell was my favorite. I was always amazed how he knew where the people that caught foul balls were from. ;)

Gene Elston...Ditto. Long overdue for him to be recognized with the Frick Award.

Didn't get a chance to listen to Harwell much, but always enjoyed him when I did.

I like Uecker as well. Occasionally tune into the Brewers game on MLB Radio just to hear him.

Miller & Morgan are pretty good together.

Wish all sports would go back to just one voice for play-by-play and occasionally a second voice for color commentary or 'from the field/dugout' reports.
