Comments on: A Voice Made for Print http://www.dirtywatah.com/2008/08/a-voice-made-for-print/ The daily Red Sox rants of Matt Levine...as read by Jon Miller Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:07:22 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: bernardsamuel http://www.dirtywatah.com/2008/08/a-voice-made-for-print/comment-page-1/#comment-9646 bernardsamuel Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:13:24 +0000 http://www.dirtywatah.com/?p=562#comment-9646 Having just become aquainted electronically with Matt, I plunged into this dirtywatah blog, and now, Kim, I'm pleased to meet you as well. Folks of your generation (I'm presuming here, but it is OK to presume youthfulness in our culture) may not remember Mel Parnell as announcer, but as good as he was a pitcher, he was as unskilled in doing play by play. I think I remember a call that went something like this: High fly ball to center field and caught in foul territory, etc. Perhaps I exaggerate, as this happened in my youth much too long ago. The unskilled announcers of today are less well tolerated than those of yesteryear, for better or worse. But let he who is without stones cast the first sin...
