Chip Caray

Didn't know very well as a kid, but still have known him for 30 years now professionally.

But to see him get a chance to do that again sort of rekindled it for him.

He loves baseball.

He likes doing it.

But like all of us, he wants to do a fast game, a good game, and go home.

And so he got a chance to do that in St.

Louis.

Yeah, well, I mean, we all harp on the time of game.

It's not about time of game.

It's pace of game.

And that's where baseball got this right, right?

I mean, what else are we going to do?

Oh, boy, it's such punishment.

You have to sit at a ballpark for five hours and talk about baseball.

Well, it's hard to do, and it's hard to do when there's nothing going on.

And baseball's done a great job of trimming that fat out of the way.

So I think he was nervous in the sense that he'd never done it before.

But once you got a couple of innings under your belt and you get used to the pace and you get used to the way that the game is being played, well, all of a sudden you adjust your cadence and off you go.

And again, he's in the Hall of Fame for a reason.

It took him 10 minutes to figure it out.
