October 13, 200422 yr Al Leiter is by far the best baseball anouncer out there today, i'm more informed from listening to him then anyone else
October 13, 200422 yr Author i meant as in the big networks..like fox and espn, the marlins anouncers are great... :thumbup
October 13, 200422 yr Leiter definetly can hold his own. He has a subdued role on Fox right now, just chiming in when they need a "technical" explanation. Leiter was on Fox last year and I expect once he retires, he'll be in broadcasting for a while.
October 13, 200422 yr He was certainly alot better than McCarver. WhenTF does FOX realise this guy is completely senile? Off the top of the my head, some ''McCarver-isms'' heard last night: - ''Brandon Arroyo is pitching for Boston tomorrow'' - ''Brandon Arroyo is pitching against Pedro Martinez tomorrow.'' - ''Jeter's got calm eyes.'' :plain - ''They only reason Myers is on the roster is for Matsui and Damon'' and my favorite: ''TV's flicked off all around New England when the Sox were down 8 and they flicked back on when they scored 5.'' Ya, like Sox fans would shut the TV off and even if they did, how would they know the Sox scored 5 and put the TV back on? Holy ****, that was ridiculous for someone who gets PAID to do this and is supposed to be a professional. Get him off the freakin' airwaves already.
