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 Messag

Nice save, David. I've always enjoyed baseball the most, with ice hockey a close second. The caveat, of course, is that the announcers know what they're doing. Jon Miller? Definitely. But John Sterling? No way. On Jun 13, 2008, at 9:22 PM, David Goren wrote: Just to nudge this toward

My bias is North American, but my own favorite is baseball as well. And Jon Miller, when he was with the O's, was clearly the top echelon. I'd look forward to rain delays just to hear him ad-lib for an extended period. I believe part of the mojo that baseball has on the radio is the leisurely pac

Just to nudge this towards radio programming. Which sport makes for the best radio listening? I'm not much of a sports fan (having been a clumsy runt-ish child with a father who watched sports but little cared who won). That said, I do enjoy listening to baseball play by play on the radio.
