Why are you against piped in crowd noise?!?
Long before the D-backs, when KTAR played Vinnie's calls of Dodger games into
Phoenix, it would have not been the same if his mike picked up just his words,
as nearly perfect as he is, were saying.
Or, to put it another way, watching a bowling match without the sounds of the
pins going down. Crickets!
Especially with today's technology, it should be even better than anything in
the past.
I'm curious why you would not want the sound of baseball on the telecasts.
Silent movies passed from the scene a long, long time ago.
