I’m old school. I’d rather listen to a sports broadcast on the radio than watch it on TV. Weird.
thats how I prefer to listen to baseball,, its too slow for tv usually..
Growing up in SoCal, listening to Vin Scully and Chick Hearn, I know how you feel.
Some people turn off the TV sound and listen to the radio broadcast.
They say it’s like ‘Old Times’...................
I find it easier to do stuff while listening than to do stuff while watching. As well, with the net, it is now possible to pick up radio broadcasts of just about everything. I caught about half the games of my high school this year—and they are three time zones and four decades away. It brought back good childhood memories. And they made it to the state championship for the fifth or sixth time in school history (where they were blown out). Some of the players are kids of people I went to school with. Much more fun than the NFL.
Agreed. Especially when Kevin Harlan does the play-by-play. The man is brilliant in his descriptions and with his enthusiasm for both teams.
Years ago, while listening to my first MLB game over the radio, I came to the conclusion that it’s no coincidence that football shot to prominence in the early 1960s, just as televised sports was coming of age.
Football is made for TV, and generally it’s better to watch a game than to hear it over the radio.
Baseball is perfect for radio. And listening to the game that way is at least as enjoyable as watching it on TV.
