Life in the Minor Leagues: Being a Broadcaster

I heard baseball before I could see it.

I cannot remember it, of course, but I am reasonably certain Denny Matthews was one of the first voices I heard after my family, as the Royals won the championship in the weeks after my birth. Later on, Ernie Harwell was a family favorite, but of course primarily broadcast at night. Harry Carey’s distinctive voice accompanied many a car ride during the day. I lack the emotional connection many Diamondbacks fans have with Greg Schulte, as I didn’t grow up hearing his voice, but I still feel the impossibility of separating his voice from many of the great moments in franchise history.
