Not only was this 2 play-by-play guys trying to alternate between play-by-play and color, but they had nearly identical voices. It took a couple months before I realized Hagin was the one who spoke lots of words but said absolutely nothing of substance. I think he left to take the expansion Rockies job. It was amazing how much better John Rooney sounded after the verbal abortion called Wayne Hagin left town.<br /><br />The way I look at it, one team is going to be stuck with the dregs of announcers, and it's about time New York or Los Angeles ate the proverbial dog food. I sympathize, but I already had my turn.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311649546579041589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020870547433486598.post-30589271106885872532010-07-16T15:35:56.002-04:002010-07-16T15:35:56.002-04:00Thank you for this blog.

I can't tolerate Mr. Hagin so much that I stopped following my team on the internet radio. Here's why -- a NYC sports broadcaster needs to speak fast, be on every moment, make it exciting. Mr.Hagin talks to us like he has corn growing out of his ears and was randomly chosen from Iowa. I have nothing against Iowa, I love Iowa, but when I want to hear my NYC team's broadcasters, I want to be mentally placed back in NYC, not Iowa.<br />MaggieMagsMchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989779287087879829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020870547433486598.post-44244707249208188832010-07-16T13:00:21.797-04:002010-07-16T13:00:21.797-04:00In 20 years he'll be considered this generatio...In 20 years he'll be considered this generation's Ralph Kiner, except that he never played in the show.<br /><br />I remember Juan Samuel grooving a pitch to Juan Samuel, only to be caught by Juan Samuel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020870547433486598.post-23870292124132275982010-07-16T12:05:38.807-04:002010-07-16T12:05:38.807-04:00Do I get any credit at all for this?

Perfect description. I think Wayne means well but is good only sometimes. He also makes for a bad partner with Howie, and I'm disappointed, as a guy who listens to the Mets by radio every night, that he hasn't improved those things after 3 years.<br /><br />I don't like to support a man getting fired, but I'd really encourage him to take a job with the Royals or something next season.Jon Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710796221469999018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020870547433486598.post-32459305902265050232010-07-16T10:19:21.636-04:002010-07-16T10:19:21.636-04:00• Bottom of the 8th, none out, two on for the Gian...• Bottom of the 8th, none out, two on for the Giants, Freddie Sanchez at the plate: ...<br /><br />FYI - it's "Freddy."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14405512234106476602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020870547433486598.post-69370117718556286312010-07-16T08:50:26.213-04:002010-07-16T08:50:26.213-04:00Based on what I read hear (I never get to listen t...Based on what I read hear (I never get to listen to a broadcast) he does say some stupid things, but they all seem to be minor stupid things.<br /><br />However I am throughly entertained by Paul's over the top rants.
