The Cubs have always been a homer broadcast - its what they do. Santo was so bad (from a technical standpoint) he was good. Pat Hughes would do play by play while Ron would be saying solething like "ohboyohboy" or one of the other many Ronisms. It was like listening to your buddy sitting next to you in the stands as opposed to a polished play by play guy.
