My grandfather was around baseball most of his life, player and coach in Dayton Ameture ball many many moons ago so I listened to his never ending baseball stories even though he was stone deaf. 
The Reds radio broadcasts really began to bore the heck out of me when it seemed like the only thing they wanted to discuss was which restaurant they went to or their golf scores.. Brantly never really did impress me as a broadcaster. Joe and Marty were and still are the gold standard of radio broadcasts.. 

Indeed they were !

I fell asleep many a summer night after hearing "this is the old lefthander rounding third and heading for home.

Is Thom an option ? Or is he locked into the T.V. gig ?
