Baltimore loves him. It's why they are increasing the amount of games he calls each year despite him living thousand miles away from Camden Yards.

Big ben does a little spring training for the Os but i think SECN/ESPN has him locked up through the CWS.

He will be back in Oriole radio booth after CWS of course


He does Orioles TV now and he called a series there a few days ago. It's why we've been getting Ronnie with Lyn lately.

Can confirm that Ben released an alligator into the football team showers in high school.

have enjoyed the hell out of this broadcast. Ben and Dulucci are great together. The other guy is just letting them go, and I love it.


The play-by-play guy kinda sounds like Seth Rogan when he gets worked up.

When paired with Lyn Rollins they are gold.


Yep. It’s because they have a good relationship. When Lyn says something crazy Ben laughs and then asks where that phrase came from or otherwise talks about what he said. Most other people just stay silent.

The extra banter during a baseball broadcast is good because of the timing and pacing of the game.

“ Ben and Dulucci are great together. “
My hope that when Ben is in his older years. Wants to stay home. He can be the voice of LSU Baseball.

One can only guess he and Delucci have been friends a long time. Still can’t believe Dulucci wasn’t a Tiger.

Always love his story telling! I just heard his story of how he traded autograph practice balls for the game balls back when he played.

It's incredible LSU baseball had the resources of a girl scout troop when McDonald was there.

The hardest I’ve ever laughed at a radio broadcast was when Rantz and Doucet imitated Skip and Paul having a discussion on BR restaurants.

Think it was on OTB when Jordy was still at the controls.

Did Big Ben say today that you don't tackle a possum? Just curious.

Got to know David a bit a few summers ago & as he tells it re his lack of recruitment by LSU, Skip at the time was not interested in recruiting Catholic High players, which David was. He said when he signed with the Rebels, the CHS alums really got pissed at Skip. Went on to become a great player & Skip, over the years, always told David that he was one of his biggest recruiting mistakes. But it was all on Skip, as David was dying to sign & play for LSU.

Surprised they have never brought up that they grew up less than 20 miles from each other. Delluci grew up in Belaires neighborhood around Sherwood forest
