True enough, I tend to agree. Personality and charisma drive fan loyalty in most cases, not precision execution.
Just ask Milo Hamilton..who thinks he was/is what an announcer should be (he's not, but don't tell him). The Cubs went and got Harry Carey who butchered more lines than Hawthorne and Ferguson combined but the Cub fans loved Harry and were ambivalent to Milo.
Milo held bitterness for Harry, the Cubs and their fans since even writing a scathing chapter on Carey in his book after Harry's death.
