Investigating whether former Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Trupiano’s nickname should be spelled “Trup” or “Troop,”* I came across his Sons of Sam Horn wiki-bio:
Trupiano was a somewhat controversial figure in that he received a lot of criticism about his ability to call games. Some pet peeves of fans were:
* Had a tendency to overexaggerate calls a lot
* Had really bad depth perception
* Had trouble distinguishing between fair and foul
* Makes really corny jokes
That’s a peeve? What about Yogi Berra? Baseball is a Dad Sport! (for dads of all genders) and I, for one, am shocked to see the great collective mind of the SoSHers forget that.

* A procrastination device up there with my senior-year-of-college epic search for the name of the second Muppet Show kibbitzer, i.e., the one who isn’t Waldorf. (A.: Statler. Waldorf’s wife is Astoria.)
** Did you hear how they buried the crossword puzzle fan?
