Review of HOME TEAM Baseball Special

Baseball has always been a writer's sport -- think Roger Angell and that other Roger, the Aga's brother -- and HOME TEAM proves that baseball is radio's sport. I've always loved Gwen M's tone: a kind of warm and welcoming with just a hint of the acerbic. And the stories are perfect in a baseball way -- witness the potato story and the sheer headtwisting weirdness of the dugout. PDs: by my New Englander's reckoning, you've got four weeks to air this before there's absolutely no hint of snow in the forecast. Don't dawdle.
