Would Howie be even better with a character in the booth?

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?
