Osh41 and I were talking about Kevin Burkhardt as a possible radio guy and one thing led to another and the conversation led to Howie Rose.
I’d love to hear Howie paired with a character. Think Ralph Kiner but 20 years ago Ralph. Kinda out-there, with some good stories, and a players resume to back it up.
I don’t know if Ed Kranepool is a good speaker..but he could be fun. Darryl Strawberry also comes to mind.
I don’t care if the person can call a game, Howie can just do all 9, and pull good stories and insight out of the partner. Keith would be great too but I don’t wanna mess with GKR, and there’s no way Keith is doing 162 games.
Does anyone come to mind?
It has to be the right person…remember Howie on Sportschanel/FSNY was not nearly as awesome as he is now, and I’ll leave it at that.
I’d also love to hear Howie do all 9 by himself once Vin Scully style.
Or can Ralph just do some vacation relief?
