Yes, I do like Andy and enjoy Red Sox Broadcasts very much, very educating




But cant stand the White Sox Broadcasts with Ken Harrelson who says "HE GONE" after every strikeout, Talk about annoying. Even if I bet on the Whitesox I will listen to the other teams broadcast and thier bias over 'He Gone'

I can not believe no one has mentioned Gus Johnson.

He is the best in my opinion calling college basketball.
