7. SF Giants announcers are old school

Collectively, Jon Miller, Duane Kuiper, and Mike Krukow have over a hundred years announcing baseball.

Mike Krukow is a Southern California boy and grew up listening to Vin Scully, while Jon Miller grew up in Northern California and primarily grew up listening to Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons, he admits that he caught a lot of Dodger night games and Vin Scully thanks to that nighttime am bounce signal. All three borrow a LOT from Hodges, Simmons, and Scully

I notice they use that exit speed stuff, but only AFTER the play has ended.

Now, that ball park wind swirl thingy is another mater, entirely.
