It makes sense that CBC wants that as their lead guy.
Personally I say Chris Cuthbert is the best. I'd also rather have Gord Miller than either of Hughson or Emrick; I've been listening to him call the Pit/Rags series and aside from Pierre McGuire (whose annoyingness is overblown anyway) it's really a good broadcast.

For some reason I like Emrick and hate Jeanerette. I am with you on
Cuthbert and Miller, and I'd throw in Ball (thouigh he'd be a homer).
I don't mind Hughson and prefer him over Cole. I think the homerism stuff is overblown. I just resented being told that it's a "known fact" he is the best.
