Reynolds was bad,
McCarver & Morgan really stink,
Larkin isn't much better.
I don't have an opinion about the Sox/Cubs guys as I don't get to hear them all that much.

Any other comments or additions to the list?
Joe Morgan is without peer as a TV announcer for baseball.

He articulates clearly about the offensive and defensive strategies,knows the players, and draws on a wealth of experience to make watching an ESPN Broadast entertaining and informative.

A great bonus tonight is the presence of Hall of Fame announcer Ernie Harwell.

Any list of great baseball announcers that omits Harwell is not a list.
