The Hawk was an announcer at one time for the Boston Red Sox as part of the TV broadcast team. I remember him at times taking a baseball that had gone into the broadcast booth, leaning out to window waving the ball and waving to the crowd, then tossing the baseball into the stands.

I don't mind the homerism but cursing on the air is taboo.

When my grandmother was alive she used to turn down the volume of the TV if she didn't like the announcers and turned on the radio to listen to the radio announcers. The fans of the Pale Hose also have that option as well if they don't like listening to the TV broadcast team.

The team always has the final say as to whom the announcers will be for the broadcasts. At least I know the Red Sox do anyway.

Do you think the fans of today would have something against the way Dizzy Dean was when he was a member of a broadcast team?
