With many thanks to this tip from The Big Lead, we bring you "Slow News Day," which is a brilliant and hilarious riff by the "Batting Stance Guy" on various MLB broadcasters and reporters:
My favorite is definitely Tim Kurkjian, but I also really enjoyed his impressions of Buster Olney, Ken Rosenthal, Craig Sager, and Pedro Gomez. Peter Gammons and Jon Heyman are okay too, but not his best efforts. And I'm not sure Rex Hudler belongs in this group, although that sentiment might be due to my geographical bias and to be fair, he is ripe for mocking.
In general, though, the most impressive aspect of this clip is his ability to pick up on the little things (Olney's constant references to two dozen media sources, the camera view on Rosenthal, Sager's habit of looking at everything but the interviewee and the audience, etc.) that will make every baseball fan nod their head and laugh. Good stuff.
