Buddy Blatner was great and he was in his 50's when he came to the Royals. He was not some rah-rah announcer that you're making him out to be. He was very reserved in his call. That's who Denny learned the announcing business from.
Many times they let the crowd tell you what the outcome was. Like Denny did at the end the 2014 ALCS when Moose scooped up JJ Hardy's ground out and threw to first. He let the crowd tell you what happened.
And after 10 seconds "Kansas City... you got yourself a World Series".
