Same here. Most of the names on people's lists I would describe as good, competent, unremarkable...fine but not Mt Rushmore worthy.I grew up listening to Ned Martin, but I really don't have many strong memories of him. I guess I think of him as being solid but unremarkable, which, upon reflection, is probably what we generally want from our pbp guy. Even more noticeable now, given how obtrusive I find O'Brien to be.

Sadly, Goucher is the TV PBP guy for the Knights, not radio, and I doubt NESN will be willing to pay him enough to keep Vegas from matching the offer. He seems to really like it there, too.3. I hope NESN brings Goucher back, to me he's a worthy link to Cusick and Wilson. TV's got to pay more than radio these days, no?
I am just young enough to not have heard Hawk when he did the Red Sox games. When he was announcing Red Sox games did he use the hokey: You Can Put It on the Board .....YES!! " crap?The Ken Harrelson who did color for the Red Sox was pretty good and even better if you compare him to the Ken Harrelson who had, in name only, the same job for the White Sox.
I think you mean the carmines.I am just young enough to not have heard Hawk when he did the Red Sox games. When he was announcing Red Sox games did he use the hokey: You Can Put It on the Board .....YES!! " crap?
Was Harrelson as much of a homer with the Red Sox as he was with Chicago?
Down homey phrases for sure, but he was pretty frank with his assessments of what was going on with the team, especially in the years Haywood Sullivan was dismantling it.I am just young enough to not have heard Hawk when he did the Red Sox games.

He was pure gold both with Stockton and then Martin, imho.I am just young enough to not have heard Hawk when he did the Red Sox games. When he was announcing Red Sox games did he use the hokey: You Can Put It on the Board .....YES!! " crap?

Then he is Matterhorn.If the play by play guy’s job is to carry the pulse of the game’s excitement in the timbre of his voice, one name stands out and that’s Fred Cusick.
Christ would do well to contract Cusick’s play by play for his second coming. Nobody better.
