WHY THERE SHOULD BE NO WOMEN ANNOUNCERS!

I understand that Fans get upset when "their" team loses, and sometime cry. But a broadcaster live on-air? I think that's unprecedented. Well that's exactly what Yankees radio announcer Suzyn Waldman did during the postgame show on WFAN last night. Here's the audio.

“No I was okay actually until I went into the clubhouse and the coaches are sitting in Torre’s office and they are watching this. And the tears you hear in my voice are coming down the faces of the coaches in that coach's room.”- Suzyn Waldman
"Well Suzyn, in life all good things come to an end.”- John Sterling
God schadenfreude is so rich sometime(s). But in all seriousness there is NEVER an instance when a broadcaster should cry live on air. I understand her allegiance to the team and the emotions tied to working for them, but even John Sterling sounded shocked that she was tearing up.
You can also relive Suzyn's greatest moment ever when Roger Clemens came back earlier in the year if you'd like. I'm trying my hardest not to pile on here....trust me.

you guys haven't heard homers until you have heard Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow do a Giants game. Kuiper isn't that bad, but Krukow is the absolute biggest homer and Giants' (including Bonds) apologist I have ever heard. Combine that with their annoying voices and they are virtually unwatchable.
The Hawk announced in Boston until 79 and he was the best. What a character. He loved boston and did not hide it (as a player when he got traded he was more than upset about leaving here). He was so colorful. Then he went to the WHite Sox and has been gone a long time. He does not speak of fondess around here anymore (when he does talk about Boston) as he has found a home in Chicago and it has been a long time. It seems people are very mixed on him, even the home towners. He was the man in the late 70's in Boston.
