July 25, 200323 yr I know this is probably not a big deal to anyone, but Tommy Hutton and Dave van Horne will miss Saturday's and Sunday's games. They will be attending the Hall of Fame induction of Gary Carter-Hutton is a very close friend and Van Horne called more than 1,000 of his games. Hutton will be replaced by Craig Minervini and Van Horne will be replaced by Bill Beck, the team's director of team travel, who also has done some broadcasting.
July 25, 200323 yr I've been waiting for Minervini to be in the booth... I want to see what he can do...
July 25, 200323 yr Not too bad, glad they used Craig on TV, they used him on the radio to sub for Boog and his voice doesn't do well on radio.
July 25, 200323 yr Minervini is very adept to the booth. He used to call XFL games for NBC and UPN, and Notre Dame Football for NBC.
July 25, 200323 yr Author Minervini has worked in a booth before, but not for an extended period of time-he was the Miami Fusion's play-by-play guy while they lasted, announced XFL football while it lasted, and called the UM baseball super-regional on ESPN. Did you know he was also a WWF announcer in the 80s and went by the name Craig DeGeorge? I guess Minervini didnt sound tough enough.
July 25, 200323 yr Did you know he was also a WWF announcer in the 80s and went by the name Craig DeGeorge? I guess Minervini didnt sound tough enough. Ross that's hysterical...I had no idea. wait..."DeGeorge" is more macho? lol
July 25, 200323 yr Minervini is very adept to the booth. He used to call XFL games for NBC and UPN, and Notre Dame Football for NBC. WTF happened to his career? National TV to this? He must of got caught doing somebody's wife or something.
