At last, ESPN has come to its senses and made the move to replace the Sunday Night Baseball team of Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.
Miller will still be a part of the organization’s baseball coverage while Morgan looks for other employment opportunities.
Morgan was never a very popular color man for ESPN’s baseball coverage, especially among younger viewers. Morgan would drone on about the same topic for several innings, rarely contributing more than common knowledge.
Despite his success as a ballplayer, Morgan offered little insight into the game and often spoke in generalities.
ESPN should use this opportunity to try to incorporate younger people into the game. More entertaining, knowledgeable commentators means more young viewers, which baseball definitely could use. Here are my top 10 picks to replace Joe Morgan in the color booth.
