Little known fact... when Mitch Holtus (sp?) was hired to be the voice of the Chiefs Bob Davis was second in line. Littler known fact... my boss was third.

Enjoy a good life Bob.

He was doing Royals baseball?

Why would anyone listen to anything about the Royals?

Royals fans often listen to hear things about the Royals.

Maybe they'll hire someone who actually reveals the score of the game more than twice per 9 innings.

Bob Davis: "Bottom of the 8th, and the Tigers are in a jam here. Royals have runners at 2nd and 3rd with just one out. It's been a competitive game so far and both teams have done damage, but this might be the Royals chance to break it open."

Me: "THE SCORE, BOB!? WHAT THE **** IS THE SCORE!!!!!????"

Great for college basketball, utterly horrid for baseball.

There's a drive! DEEEP to RIGHT FIELD!!!! AAAAANND..... CAUGHT BY the second baseman.

Good riddance!

Although I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed laughing at his baseball broadcasts early in the season when he was still used to calling games at the fast pace of college basketball.

One of the worst bits of his announcing went something like this:

"And there's a grounder to..(LONG PAUSE)..the shortstop who gloves it..long throw..OUT AT FIRST BASE!" (Bob, it's Escobar! Escobar! Not only is it the 8th inning and Escobar's been our shortstop the entire game but it's freakin' July and our shortstop's been Escobar since Opening Day!)

I went to college with Tommy. Nice guy and he has a great voice for baseball broadcasts.
