There would only be one crew - working for and employed by the league, not for the teams involved. That's sort of where I'm going with this...there would definitely be wrinkles to iron out to get it to work, if it could be made to work. Again, this is just the seed of an idea.

It may not be feasible but it's certainly worth the discussion.

 
As long as it is a radio-friendly broadcast call.  Currently simulcasting a TV feed on radio leaves listeners wanting.  Not just the “as you can see” references but TV play-by-play omits key points like, “infield at double-play depth”, “huge gap between the outfielders in left-centre” and “wind blowing out to right.”

RA, Pinto & Tq345, thanks so very much for the kind words.  I’m humbled!  Retirement is enjoyable and I still get to dabble in volunteer radio here in Stouffville.

John Best was an excellent broadcast journalist in London, Montreal and Hamilton.  He’s a cherished friend and his newspaper is always an excellent read.  😊
