The Tigers are no strangers to good broadcasters, with Ernie Harwell being an exceptional voice for the franchise for ages, and Mario Impemba and Rod Allen being such a long-standing duo that fans created drinking games around their oft-used turns of phrase.
What that says about Bally Sports Detroit’s viability is anyone’s guess. One interesting note on the hire is the fact that Benetti, like Dan Dickerson, was hired by the Tigers directly. With the hiring of former White Sox play-by-play announcer (and one of the best announcers currently working in baseball), the Tigers are poised to have exceptionally listenable game-calling in both the TV and radio broadcast booth.
The Tigers have officially made one of their best and boldest moves of the offseason.
