Old school is usually good
I was extremely surpised to just hear that Jay Randolph, Sr. will take care of play-by-play duties on next season's KSDK/Channel 11 broadcasts. My first reaction was a vision of enjoyable Sunday afternoons listening to an old, but very familiar voice. I've actually came to tolerate Ricky Horton pretty well, and like the guy generally. He did not go well Bob Carpenter (cornry overdose) - but has improved since. But with Jay I do have concern. It is very awkward to like an announcer, but have to almost 'root' for him to not make mistakes. It was very difficult with Jack Buck, but he did really decline - VERY understably so - in his last few seasons. But, we'll see. I hope it works. It may just come down to Jay's voice and whether it can mesh well the production ...
