Could paint the picture and make it really interesting to listen to the game while also understanding that sometimes it was okay to not be talking. Just letting the crowd noise be there, anymore it seems like a lot of the new guys they are getting, TV or radio, feel like they always need to be talking.
Waite Hoyte, if he hadn't been such a lush for so many years was also great to listen to. I remember him as a kid. Hoyte has some great baseball stories. My grandfather knew him fairly well from his time playing with the barnstorming teams way back in the day.. When Joe started out I remember thinking he was always drunk, but he just had the voice that could have sounded like it when I was a kid. Maybe it was all the beer commercials that lead me to thinking that.. I grew to really enjoy listening to him especially late at night with the Star of the Game show.. I can still hear Joe saying, in his voice, "Heee struck him out!" in only the way Joe could say it..
