I haven't had to listen to any of the games on the radio yet with Blair but just going off his calls over the game highlights, he doesn't do it for me. He sounds like an emotionless robot.

I don't doubt that he's better than Hawthorne at describing the action but Hawthorne's intangibles were superior. I feel like sometimes Blair has some scripted lines he likes to toss in when there's an opportunity and it rubs me the wrong way. The "catch him on Twitter" line from last year and "Tuna Tar Tar" on the Devin White sack for example.

Hawthorne just had a special charm to him that I don't feel with Blair. Just my early take.

I am getting used to Chris's voice calling Tiger games, but grew up listening to John Ferguson on an AM radio. It was exciting, but nothing was like the first time walking through a tunnel into Tiger Stadium and seeing it in person.
