I know its not very popular but I like Ron Fairly.

In fact I'll trade you twenty Dave Henderson's for one Ron Fairly.

He brings the history of an era into the booth with him every game. Yes, a dozen 'that was good pitch to hit right there's' in a row can get maddening BUT the guy consistently tells stories about the great players, coaches and managers from a baseball era that was before my time. The guy played with, roomed with and lived with some of the greatest players the game has ever seen, if we get just three or four of those stories a year out of Red i figure we are getting our monies worth.

You get from Red exactly what you got out of him as a player on the field, consistency, above average performance, and longevity... all while playing a pretty easy position.

Red's contributions are anecdotal. Don't look for any pseudo-intellectual Joe Morganisms from Red either, that's not his game.
