Dusty Baker

He may be new at this announcing thing, but he is the worst I have ever heard. He had trouble pronouncing names, not just Salty, and referred to the "Old Turner Field".

I guess he's forgotten the name of the place hwere he began his major league career.

Yeah, but he can't destroy anyone's arm while he's up there.

and actually, he was a breath of fresh air from the jokers that THINK they know baseball; at least he was very honest about when he screwed up; except for when he talked of us taking back the "AL" east...

It was pretty funny when he kept trying to pronounce Salty's name; saying he had practiced before coming on air, lol

It'd be easier pfor them guys if they just called Salty:

Rick Sutcliffe was worse. Baker just seemed dopey, but Sutcliffe made me want to skin my eyeball.

Dusty at least gets points in my book for bringing up the story about the foam tomahawks and his son. Well, maybe it's Dusty's son who gets the points - he's a keeper.

Baker was OK, but he doesn't seem to really have a feel for the job. In Sutcliffe's case just thank HIM for the inventor of the "MUTE" button!
