Also, requiring a PA announcer to be U3 in a professional baseball game as "punishment" would seem to say that anyone can do this job.
Definitely, but I must say it's certainly creative and humbling punishment for the announcer!

I love that sound bite he used, btw. Growing up in Milwaukee, I used to love listening to Bob Uecker calling the Brewers games. I can still hear him say, "get up! Get up! Get outta here! GONE for Robin Yount! And a three-run homer puts the Brewers within 7 runs..."

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
