I would argue 'pure emotion and excitement' are exactly what is missing from today's broadcasters. I'm also not a fan of all the logos on the uniforms these days. The case can additionally be made that their are too many ads on the current baseball fields. I wish today's baseball could be more like it is here.

Exactly! Bottom of the ninth. Tying run on base. 3 and 2. And on the way there, attempted steals, the home crowd booing every time the pitcher checked the first base runner, multiple foul or almost-fair balls. As if that wasn't enough, two California teams in the final series, a record setting pitcher and a beloved/injured record setting hitter! And as you imply, you could only make this stuff up. But no, it really happened. Maybe it SHOULD be a movie. Hmmm.

After Harry was fired after 1969, Jack took over until his death in 2002. What a pleasure he was to listen to, and was as revered in STL as Vinny was in LA. Jack's radio station, KMOX, reached 40 states at night. Sigh. The last great announcers are Jon Miller in SF, and Bob Eucker in Milwaukee.

October 15,1988, I was sitting behind the left field foul pole in the 2nd deck at Dodger Stadium. It seemed forever while Kirk Kibson limped from the Dodgers dugout taking his cuts, barely being to move his legs as he strutted up to home plate. One foul ball after another. From the 2ned deck you couldn't see the ball going foul....... until.... a roar came from the crowd. The crowd went nuts. I will never forget Conseco drifting back to the right field stands. What a moment in time..... never to be forgoten

Jack Buck underscores what's missing in modern baseball. He and Vin Scully is so reminiscent of those great days of radio sportscasting - they cut their teeth on radio and knew how to bring excitement and drama to the radio audience. When TV emerged, these guys brought those radio skills with them and it made for great TV coverage. So much so, my dad (born in 1915) would often watch games on TV with the sound turned off and listen to the games over the radio. He did this all the time in his latter years.

It is nice to be able to watch the whole sequence as it is really hard to appreciate how badly he was hurt. You usually just see a clip and hear that he had a bad leg but until you see the entire at bat you really don't realize how hard he was struggling. You can also see how he is basically just using his arms to try to hit. Can't use his lower body at all to drive the bat which makes it even more incredible.
