My Take
Hudler is proof that personality can outlast stats, and I mean that as a compliment. As a player he was the consummate energetic utility man, bouncing around the majors and even playing in Japan, the kind of guy every clubhouse loves. But it's in the broadcast booth where 'Wonder Dog' truly found his calling, bringing infectious enthusiasm and folksy malapropisms to Angels and Royals telecasts. Some purists found his style too loose, but I appreciate an announcer who clearly adores the game and never takes himself too seriously. He turned a journeyman career into a beloved second act behind the mic.
