Why are baseball broadcasers so awful?

Joe Morgan, Kruk, Brantley, Dibble, basically all the Braves announcers, the White Sox announcers etc, etc, etc.

I'm watching the Braves gane with Ron Gant commenting and it's just boring cliche unsightful stuff from him.

I guess the root cause is the belief that people want ex-players to do the broadcasting. And ex-players can't analyze a game - they can only hit, throw, run, etc.

I always think there must be broadcat majors coming out of college getting very irritated when the hear the crap that repesents the top announcers in the game.

I keep getting the idea to start a blog and document all the examples of poor work from these guys. There would be plenty.
