Get these guys on FOX

I just wanted to give a quick tip of the proverbial hat to the announcers of the Oklahoma State/Louisville baseball game.

First, they talked about Okey Dokey State's 5'3" shortstop who was recently drafted and did not mention, or even allude to, a certain Jewish World Series MVP. Nor did they use the words "grit," "intangibles," "moxy," or any of those other unquantifiable words to describe him.

Then, they called the runt on something that is not criticized nearly enough in any level of baseball: sliding into first base. On a play that I'm sure would have Joe Morgan gushing about hustle and "he's just a baseball player," the color commentator pointed out that by sliding, the player cost his team a baserunner. Sliding into first is always wrong, and I want to thank these nameless commentators for pointing this out: "You never saw Michael Johson sliding into the finish line."

Well put.
