A Petition For Ousting Of Red Sox Announcer From Booth

Our friends over at Sox & Dawgs have had enough of Glenn Geffner on the radio.ggeei.jpg 

In years past we were treated to the sounds and descriptions of the games that were provided to us by Curt Gowdy, Jim Woods and Ned Martin. Joe Castiglione continues on with the grand tradition of that broadcasting excellence. It is a shame and a disservice to Mr. Castiglione and fans of baseball on the radio that he be subjected to working a majority of the season with an inferior broadcasting partner. Mr. Castiglione and baseball fans everywhere deserve a better fate.

We ask that you bring Dave O’Brien to the booth full time or, in lieu of that, you hire a quality announcer to fill in for Mr. O’Brien during his ESPN commitments.

Go Here to read the rest and sign the petition.

Glenn Geffner does an excellent job as a broadcaster. In my view, he's in a league with the outstanding Bob Costas for his thoughtful, insightful baseball broadcasting. Three cheers for Glenn!

That other commenter is joking, right?

I'd have to guess Lou that it was actually Geffner himself

Towards the end of the season and through outthe playoffs and World Series I have listened to Red Sox baseball on XM. I think Glenn Geffner is a pleasure to listen too. He has all the stats and some interesting perspectives on baseball and his Red Sox.
