Worst play by play guy in baseball?

My vote goes to Ken (Hawk) Harrelson of the Chicago White Sox. Any time an umpire's call goes against the Sox, he complains about how the umps are picking on them.
I have nothing against homers, but there does need to be a dose of reality included sometimes while calling a ball game. Harrelson has no objectivity whatsoever. None. He should be fired. It won't happen, but it should.

He said the Chicago Police actually "held back" while the NATO conferences and protestors were in Chicago. I took it to mean that he believes the CPD should have had free rein to bust heads rather than actually follow rules and laws of the USA.

I see he is on SNB recently which I haven't seen w/ his addition because I've been without cable for a couple of years and Sunday Night Baseball wasn't something I usually watched because I very rarely seen the Rockies showcased on them. I'm more familiar w/ Buck due to post-season broadcasts and being the top play-by-play guy on NFL on Fox broadcasts.
