...I have no idea how to set up a podcast...LOL
My bad eyesight makes a career as an announcer most unlikely (unless the visual equipment in the booth is sufficiently impressive as to provide a clear view of all events on the monitors...I'd never see them on the field from the press box), but I am quite capable of calling the game from the MLB.TV feed (though it would depend heavily on getting helpful camera angles on the more interesting calls).
I don't know how interested the average listener would be in the kinds of details I tend to bring up in quiet moments...but it entertains me. LOL  I prefer a minimalist approach, BTW.  I like to get swept up in the sound of the crowd when the situation is intense...during boring moments, I tend to talk about what is going on in the rest of baseball or the ramifications of this particular game on future games or what's happening in the minor league affiliate games if I have the gamedays up for those events...I don't have Dave Niehaus' story bank to go to...I wasn't alive in 1960 to see those games...I started watching baseball in 1991.  I have some historical knowledge...but it's not anecdotal...it's like the stories you can read about in your history textbooks...that's not good for TV.  I don't think my particular talents lie toward paint a picture with words...I grew up with the pictures provided.
*shrug*...I doubt I'd put on all that much of a show...it would be more like ameteur hour at the improv. :)
