Favorite Broadcasters when you were young?
Broadcasters were like family for me from age 7 through my early 20's.
I loved Jack Brickhouse, Jim Piersall and Harry Caray in Chicago. They were like immediate family. Then, for the holidays my uncles would show up...Tony Kubek, Joe Garagiola, Vin Scully. I loved them. Then there was "uncle Keith Jackson and Howard Cosell"...they only visited when it was a big event so it was exciting. They all sounded different, delivered different and it was great. Broadcasters all sound alike the last 20 years. Rarely enlightening and never interesting. Steve Stone is an amazing color guy and I always liked Tim McCarver as a class-act.
