Baseball quiz: Honoring the great TV, radio sports announcers

The Dodgers are in town this weekend. While many of you will be watching Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and old friend Jason Heyward, I’ll be listening. My friend and colleague Charley Steiner, the radio voice of Dodgers baseball, will be in the visitors’ radio booth, relaying the action to the folks in L.A. and those who listen on the MLB app.

Charley is one of the great baseball radio play-by-play talents around. He shares the booth with another Chicago old friend, Rick Monday, and they do a stellar job. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching a game on television and listening to their descriptions, but baseball was made for radio, far more than any other sport.
