I'm kinda bummed that Manfra retired.  One thing on the bucket list was to listen to a game with @Frobby and watch him go crazy when Manfra made him think it was a lazy fly ball but really it was a 450 foot bomb.

And also, the complete opposite when it's an Oriole at the plate.

Or vice versa! Both Fred and Joe Angel must be blind as a bat.

Good for both of them, justly deserved.  I used to fall asleep (or sometimes not, if we were playing the Jays) to the voices of Fred Manfra and Jon Miller 25 years ago.  The induction of BRob makes me feel old.

Not sure where I was when this was announced, just heard about it on the broadcast.    I’m really pleased for BRob.    His career ended on a sour note, but in his prime he was the best leadoff hitter we’ve had in the last 20 years.    I miss having a guy like that atop the order.   

I’m pleased for Fred because he’s a good guy, though I wasn’t a fan of his announcing.

Nice to see they are not holding players PED use against them.

Maybe Raffy can get in?

We agree! Manfra seems like such a nice man but terrible at play by Play.

Yeah.   I didn’t mind him as Joe Angel’s foil doing color, but his PBP was a mess.

Seeing that Manfra will be inducted, means it just a matter of time before the Orioles' Hall of Fame welcomes Jim Hunter.
