2 man announcing team

I posted this idea in the PBP thread in the suggestions forum a while ago, but it seems to fit in this thread, too:

How about an announcing team of two: play-by-play, and color. The color announcer can be turned off.

They could even have names, and be hired and fired like scouts or coaches. You could save money by not hiring a color guy. Better announcers could result in more media revenue.

"Flashing the leather," and "Oh-ho, doctor" get pretty tedious. Such stuff could belong to the (optional) color guy. The P-B-P guy wouldn't need to be entirely dry, as in "single to left" or "strike out." It could be like: "fly ball to short left, it falls in for a base hit," or "struck him out swinging on an inside fastball," etc.
