He’s not the same broadcaster as he was in the 70’s. He and Fred White were a great team. And as the Royals began to show they were becoming a contender, they got extremely excited on their calls.
Frequently I heard
“Hit like a bullet down the left field line”.
“Otis drills a shot into the right center gap, and with his speed that could be 3 bases”!!
And all those times a ball got laced down the line and some opposing RF (Yaz, Steve Kemp, Roy White) would wait for the bounce only to have the ball hug the bottom of the wall and roll toward RC field, they went crazy on those plays.,
