Bally Sports' West decision to go without a play-by-play broadcaster for Friday's Angels game appears to be a case of a network trying something different.
The play-by-play broadcaster has been a staple of radio and television for sporting events of all sorts since, well, sports broadcasting began. The Baseball Hall of Fame honors broadcasting excellence with the Ford C. Frick award. Its winners, from Vin Scully to Al Michaels to Joe Castiglione just last month, have all taken turns doing play-by-play.
Gubicza is in his 22nd year with Bally Sports West, and his 17th year providing color commentary for Angels broadcasts. He's able to blend humor and insights with a variety of play-by-play partners — some experienced, some less so — and will probably thrive in an 'informal' format.The wild card is Valentine. Valentine managed the New York Mets from 1996-02. Although his tenure ended 22 years ago, he's still closely associated with the team.
