A 30-something who grew up rooting for the Mets and has broadcasting chops. (I'm sure there's a bunch to choose from.) This new guy would, presumably, know more about Edgardo Alfonzo than Ken Boswell, but it's not too early to start grooming the guy who will be potentially to voice of a future generation. As I've said, I know little about Wayne Hagin, (including his age) but I'm getting the sense that he's not going to be that guy. This seems the right way to go. (Hagin's 53, and keeps his home in Castle Rock, CO. The season's like one long road trip, I'd imagine.) Used to call Rockies games, still lives in Colorado. He's a mercenary and a hack and he should go to Vail and throw himself down a ski slope, head or ass first. I'd like to seem him crash Lindsey Vonn style into a barrier of some sort and break his face like Roger Ebert. OE: OK that may be a bit much.
