He Had No Trouble Understanding Sparky

I find it hard to fathom Larry Stewart’s disparaging remarks about Sparky Anderson’s broadcasting debut with Prime Sports [April 26].

His criticism seems to be based solely on delivery rather than content. I found Sparky’s delivery natural and refreshingly free of the usual canned broadcast cliches and jargon we get from most commentators. Granted, Sparky butchers the King’s English, but I am not listening to Sparky for a grammar lesson, rather for knowledgeable baseball insights, which he provided in abundance during his initial telecast.
