I love listening to Dennis Eckersley on the NESN pre & post-game shows. He tells it like it is. No mixing of words.
His vocabulary regularly includes the words "cheese," "hair," "hook" & other descriptive phrases for pitches. Eck is a wild card as a commentator because he is never afraid to speak his mind. I think that is why I like him so much.
Coming from a guy who did it all, as a starter & closer, Eck gives you a pitcher's prospective on the game. The other analysts are position guys like Jim Rice or Dave McCarty. There is even a former manager in Ken Maccha.
How does Eck still have that long, dark hair at his age? I'm jealous.
Keep it up, Eck!
