Aside from Australian football (to which I have a *slight* bias), I too, endorse baseball. Being an Oriole fan, I think that Jon Miller was at his best in the days he did the Oriole radio broadcasts. -- -Rob de Santos Chairman, Australian Football Association of North America -Original Message- From: John Figliozzi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 9:35 PM To: Shortwave programming discussion Subject: Re: [Swprograms] OT: XM/Sirius -- have they complied with FCC requirements?

I have several friends who enjoy baseball on radio who think Mr. Sterling is tough to listen to.

There's also a guy on RTE Ireland who does rugby matches and is a hoot. He gets so excited that between his breathless delivery and the Irish brogue, you can hardly understand the guy when the game gets really . But his enthusiasm for the game is positively infectious and I find myself chuckling a little with the way I lean into the broadcast as his voice rises. Wish I could conjure up his name, but I can't at the moment. On Jun 13, 2008, at 9:31 PM, Richard Cuff wrote: My bias is North American, but my own favorite is baseball as well.
