Pardon me for not knowing her name, but the gal doing the play-by-play for the FSU-Arkansas series on ESPN was the absolute worst baseball play-by-play announcer I have ever heard. I'm all for any knowledgeable, competent gal being allowed to be a baseball broadcaster ahead of however many thousand guys who are more qualified, but this case was the most glaring ever. ESPN is infested with poor broadcasters, but this one was over-the-top.
