Best Sport to listen to on the Radio

Kinda hard to beat baseball

Similarly in the UK, Cricket is probably the best sport covered on radio.

The slow pace of the game allows for some wonderful discussion between the commentators, and they tend to be able to paint a more vivid picture of the action as opposed to radio commentaries on faster paced sports.

Yeah, I have to go with baseball. Granted I have never seen an MLB team play, but I have seen many Missions (a AA team) games while listening to the play by on AM radio.

Baseball is the soundtrack for a beautiful summer day. Grilling burgers, doing yard work or just sitting outside doing nothing. You're not cooped up in the house bound to a television for 3+ hours. You picture everything in your mind: the announcers give you the sights and sounds of being there - without you having to spend money you really don't have - to enjoy for free.

American Football and soccer are also good sports to hear over the airwaves. (Soccer can be more fun if you find a game in a different language; here in the Chicago area I can find them in Spanish or Polish. Just know your numbers and some simple phrases and it's easy to pick up.)

College basketball is okay. Not a pro basketball guy, so I don't know a lot of those. Hockey always sounds exciting when listening to Pat Foley of the Blackhawks, but it's really fast.

Baseball.

There are very few things more serene than sitting out on the porch on a warm summer evening and listening to a baseball game on the radio. Even now, with all the technological advances we have, that's one of the more perfect ways to spend a night.

Boxing on the radio back in the day sounded pretty exciting.

Baseball. I subscribe to their audio plan every year during the season.

Basketball. You have to be really good to call a basketball game well. When it is called well basketball is so fun to listen to.

I find it incredibly easy and pleasant to fire up a Cardinals Game to listen to when I'm working in the office.

[Andy Martin]

Baseball. Hockey is good too. Just not the Oilers crew...Who are terrible.

Baseball. you could picture everything easily

Baseball talk and play-by-play of every game was a big reason why I bought an XM radio in 2005. So definitely baseball for me.

Sometimes I bring my little AM/FM radio to a game because listening to the commentary makes keeping score easier for me.

Baseball. No question.

If Don La Greca is calling the Rangers, then he makes a case for hockey being a less distant second.

While I agree with everyone saying baseball, I have to mention horse racing. Those calls are often more interesting than the actual races.
