We ve listened to announcers as they ve brought baseball to life on the air. Now we get to revel in the stories we ve often never heard them tell until now. Curt Smith has knocked it out of the park again. Christine Brennan, <i>USA Today</i>--Christine Brennan USA Today


Curt Smith has gone deep again--over the wall into the game's broadcasting essence--telling stories. With a ball in play as little as eight minutes in a three-hour game, filling dead spots with anecdotes is essential. With our nomadic lifestyle, these terrific stories involve happenings on and off the field. --Joe Castiglione, Boston Red Sox radio announcer
