I could listen to that guy call games. Good voice…with a little experience could seriously do that. I bet there is a high school who could use him as their radio voice.

Not bad but John Kruk calls color for the Phils and the man is a national treasure.

He would be 50x better than Mike Hoss for Saints games even if he's never even watched a football game in his life.

This guy 100% has experience calling some sort of non-professional league

John Kruk calls color for the Phils


Ironically, he’s the Philly’s T.V. color guy, ‘cause if there ever was a face for radio, it’s John Kruk. This guy was doing the radio broadcast and I figured someone would post it here as he was outstanding.

I caught NBC’s Sunday Night broadcast with Kruk doing the color this past Sunday.

“My rookie year I was playing a lot of centerfield for the Phillies as I was the fastest OF option at the time and had the most range out there…we really weren’t very good.”

That was fantastic.

He sounds like the Blue Jays' play-by-play guy. Not Dan Shulman but the other long-time play-by-play guy they have.

He sounds like a professional broadcaster. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a fan win a contest (or in this case an auction) to call an inning

Can't hate on it. Guy invested in a chance on a future career opportunity and nailed it.
