I think it was the wonderful piece about Vin Scully and while I believe Scully is excellent TV, I think he learned his trade on radio and brings that to bear as a television personality. I think those people who start out with radio make better commentators on television. Jon Miller is another example. I believe Jon Miller did radio as well. But Shelly doesn't need radio, she's got game right where she is.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('13423','Ted Leavengood'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('13423','Ted Leavengood','I was un-serious, but someone here recently wrote about the poor quality of commentary on television baseball.

I just throw open a window and point my computer speaker towards the yard and I'm good to go. My father used to listen to the Mariners on the radio all the time and I have wonderful memories of that. We used to listen to them together in the car, and I remember being in my living room with my father on April 29, 1986 and listening to Roger Clemens strike out 20 Mariners. I later watched the replay on TV, but I heard the original on the radio and it was amazing to listen to. Either way is fine with me.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('13421','Mike Lynch'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('13421','Mike Lynch','I\'ll take my baseball any way I can get it and though I enjoy watching the Red Sox on TV more than listening to them on the radio, I love being able to go into my back yard with a good book or magazine, a drink and a cigar and listen to the Sox on MLB.com.
