Paul Olden is good enough to announce his teammates' names, but The Captain requires his own fanfare? Yeesh. I'm rooting for some sort of zombie Bob Sheppard to handle this. You know, intermittently craving brains audibly while introducing Yanqui legends, and even perhaps taking bites out of the skulls of Michael Kay, John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman. I don't see any downside to this plan to be honest. The collective brains of Kay, Sterling and Waldman would be as filling as stopping the temp waitress with the hors d'oeuvre tray, then seeing that all she had was the little hot dogs wrapped in cheap bread dough that once had Poppin Fresh on the label. "Hors d'oeuvre?" "Ah, no thanks. I'll wait for the next tray..." Not saying it wouldn't be entertaining. "HeeeeEEEEeeeees eating my brain!" "Oh my goodness gracious! The zombie Bob Shepherd is walking through zombie George Steinbrenner's private box!" lol. There's a comic strip in that. But then there's a comic strip in everything.
