Enrique Oliu breathes baseball. The crack of the bat and the cheers of the crowd run through his veins.

I want to hear Oliu call a game (though I'll have to have someone translate the Spanish for me). Sometimes I have a hard time following the game's nuances and couldn't imagine trying to follow it blind.
