Play-By-Play Done Right

The Giants announced a six year extension to the man, the myth and the legend Jon Miller today and my immediate reaction was of sheer excitement. It may be that it is a rainy Friday morning In February but my ears are very thankful the Giants decided to keep Jon around for a while. I am especially looking forward to hearing him say, “here comes the 0-2 pitch from Zito… big looping curveball… and Kent swings right over the top for strike 3.”

Now does this mean the broadcast team will not need the services of current host of "The Rise Guys" show on KHTK-1140 AM in Sacramento F. P. Santangelo? I mean don’t get me wrong I loves me a little F.P. color commentating as much as the next guy, especially when he goes into tangents on air about his baseball career, which make about as much sense as a monologue in a Schwarzenegger movie.

I want to hear from YOU! Since this blog is new, and part of me is really curious to see if anyone is actually reading it, let’s hear who your favorite and least favorite Giants broadcasters are.

Here is a cheat sheet with most of the voices, past and present, of the San Francisco Giants.
