Don't get me wrong... I think Len's great, definitely one of the best in the biz. He's certainly the best baseball TV play-by-play guy in town (not that that no-talent ass clown on the South Side is much competition to anybody, but still.) But I'd say he comes in second behind Pat Hughes in terms of baseball broadcasters all around. That's just me, though.
