Voluntary. Also alluded to getting paid plenty.

Seemed pretty adamant about being on the radio side. The guy is head over heels in love with Ernie Harwell.

A great radio guy to be in love with, but I fear that era of baseball on the radio is long gone. We, as Sox fans, can hope Len is that good for that long, it would be good for us.

I hear his first real passion is announcing the game at a local athletic club to members as the play by play comes in by teletype.

All of the disinformation surrounding this story seems to fly in the face of what even a casual observer knows of the industry. Yet, all the sports talkers are repeating it as truth without skepticism.

Big game against The Clevelands!

What I think is that Marquee is a lead balloon and Len is bailing.

I feel like everyone knew Marquee was a terrible idea except the Rickettses. What kind of tape library did the Cubs even have coming in? There are hardly any classic games, just those clip shows with all the clips we've seen before, and they run those clip shows every single day.

I know it's the second inning of game 1, but I'm pleased thus far. He provides a lot of information, he coherently describes the game (particularly the pitch types), and doesn't let dead air accumulate (like he did on the Cubs telecasts).
