With TV, the skill isn't as necessary, but when you can't see anything, being descriptive is what counts. It may also be nostalgia, many growing up with baseball on radio (even later, how many kids went to bed, with a radio so they could hear the game?), so they prefer it. It can be quiet on the radio, except when the announcer gets excited. I have no interest in sports, but I think if I did, I'd listen to baseball on the radio. I've seen people suggest watching a game on tv, but listening to the play by play on radio. Michael
