A short Gwynn tribute would have been fitting. Think they had something quick for Kiner.
IMO Fox's sports coverage has always been outclassed by the other big 3 networks. Not that ABC/CBS/NBC are perfect, but I prefer their lesser produced broadcasts. Fox has stuff like that stupid dancing robot and sound effects in football highlights.. they use their football music for baseball games and their lead announcers (Joe Buck especially) and reporters (Erin Andrews, Ken Rosenthal) just annoy me.
I have old NBC WS broadcasts taped, like Game 6 of the '86 WS, and NBC was so classy. Costas reporting, Vin Scully doing play by play, minimal production (no idea why sports is so overproduced now), and a great little baseball theme/intro song.
