 SI.com - Writers - Tom Verducci: MLB Masters of the Mic - Thursday July 29, 2004 12:43PM
But when you combine great baseball with an announcer who is not a self-promoter, someone who doesn't treat the booth like an open mike night at a low-rate comedy club, someone who actually delivers more information than schtick, you have the ultimate (non-paying) fans' experience.
What you heard in his soothing voice was an honest love for baseball, not, as is the case too often with the modern announcer, himself.
Sports Illustrated senior writer Tom Verducci covers baseball for the magazine and is a regular contributor to SI.com.

 The Sports Gaming Network - Basketball: NBA Jam 99 Nintendo 64 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
But by the time the next generation of game systems came around, the NBA Jam craze was winding down, and new editions of the game struggled due to lack of innovation and a gimmicky gameplay that had long since gone stale for many gamers.
There may never have been two real-world announcers better suited for a video game: Harlan is famous for his over-the-top excitability (he's the guy who once, after a big Kevin Garnett dunk, boomed "He's got mad-cow disease!"), and Walton, for his harsh, often brutal assessments of the action on the court.
The game also features stadium announcing by Jazz announcer Dan Roberts, who uses all the real player names, as well as those of fictional players that are drafted in the franchise mode.

 SPORTSbyBROOKS
As everyone now knows, 99% of sports announcers are paid by teams (and networks) to be on-air shills, and their resulting work is now unintentional comedy gold (and is the reason I got out of the biz).
I also spent several years as a sports radio host and Program Director in major markets - and I've heard innumerable radio executives explain low sports radio station ratings by claiming there's a limited audience for the format - which is of course, hogwash.
Pushing the same "hot sports opinion" patter on listeners, and then throwing open the phones to the same set o' callers every day is the reason most sports stations are an automatic tuneout.

Sports announcers get big bucks, but recent experiment questions if they help or hurt ratings.
Sports television consultant Neal Pilson, a former president of CBS Sports who has signed his share of multi-million dollar announcing contracts, concedes that the teams involved and the quality of the game are the real keys to the ratings of an event.
He said that one of the reasons networks spend the time and effort they do building the announcing teams is that they're a part of the broadcast, along with the pictures, that they can control.

NEW YORK - In the biggest deal of modern baseball history, Rogers Hornsby, greatest batsman of the game, and manager of the world's champion St. Louis Cardinals, was traded to the Giants tonight for Frank Frisch and Pitcher Jimmy Ring.
Although President Charles A. Stoneham of the Giants declared that no money was paid to the Cardinals, baseball men were unanimous in insisting that the New York club must have handed over at least $100,000, in addition to its star second baseman and a veteran pitcher who is almost at the end of his career.
He retired with 560 goals in 1991 and stood 16th on the all-time list as of the 2002-3 season.

One of the best sports documentaries ever made is summed up in a single poignant quote from William Gates.
