At least Grunder is entertaing, gets you a bit excited during the race (ok so sometimes he prematurely calls races), but he's 100x better than that mono-tone boring guy you are refering to that makes the same boring call of a race, every race, every day.
Instead of water boarding prisioners they should just but Battaglia on a loop.

I remember him doing the 1986 Derby call broadcast on ABC.

Was that just for the track feed? I thought Dave Johnson started calling them for ABC in 1987.

Battaglia version. Dave Johnson did a call as well, I'm guessing for the ABC feed.
