		Costas makes it clear from the outset that he's not a romantic, baseball-should-be-played-in-flannel traditionalist; indeed, some of his ideas--comprehensive revenue sharing and salary caps and floors--will be seen as radical by many team owners and players.
		Emmy Award-winning sports announcer Costas is a natural for audio; his confident, animated voice is enjoyable to listen to (though the rapid-fire speed of his delivery takes a little while to get used to), and he's comfortable behind the microphone.
		Costas, NBC sports analyst, is nationally known for his insightful commentary and has long made no secret that of all the sports he has covered, baseball is his favorite.

		Costas: I used to think that, because of my regard for the idea of a pennant race, or the integrity of the regular season -- I used to think that the way they had scrambled things in the mid 90's and tossed in the Wildcard was an entirely negative thing.
		Costas: Well, the earliest that NBC could reacquire baseball would be the 2007 season, because it is all on Fox 2006 and luckily I think the number one team on Fox does a very good job.

		For the record, Costas noted that: " For many Americans, a season without hockey is like a Happy Meal without parsley." in response to the possibility of the upcoming NHL strike, sometime in mid to late 1994.
		"Bob Costas should know that we seriously looked into adding parsley to our tasty happy meal combos as early as 1992, but today, it just doesn't make economic sense any more, considering, amongst other things, the rising costs of parsley.

		Costas came to prominence as the play-by-play man for NBC Baseball, and in his sports broadcasting, he's always managed to combine almanac-quality knowledge with offbeat popcult references, like an unholy offspring of Vin Scully and Dennis Miller.
		But Costas truly proved his mettle while hosting Later with Bob Costas, a talk show that featured no audience, no house band, no monologue, and no sidekick -- only a half-hour conversation between Costas and his sole guest for the night, who could be anyone from Mario Cuomo to Mel Brooks.

		But when Costas says "baseball," you want to do one of two things: pop a beer and turn on the Game of the Week, or pass the Grey Poupon and turn on Ken Burns' documentary.
		There's a comedic aspect to his struggle: Bob talks, Bob slaps himself for sounding corny, Bob talks, Bob slaps himself for waxing nostalgic, etc. He wants to be sure he doesn't alienate the manly men who play and own baseball.
		Listen to Costas, as he speaks to The Sporting News, and it is easy to forget, momentarily, that baseball is writhing in pain, and easy to remember why Americans love it.
