"Costas is that rare hybrid in sportscasting with converging wit, erudition and superb communication skills." "Costas comes out of a tradition of gentle baseball eloquence." "He is as good a pure broadcaster as I've ever seen." "Intelligent, witty, good-natured, he is the very antithesis of the shills who dominate most sports programming." "With his unique ability to weave intellect into a typically anti-intellectual medium, he's the best in the business." "Bob Costas is the most beloved sports broadcaster of his generation." "Costas is Amadeus: He knows where all the keys are...[He's] the best at what he does on the planet." "He grew up in love with the lore of baseball, and now he has become...a part of that lore himself." "[His] polymathic frontal lobe holds more information than some CD-ROMs... [he's] a TV-weaned Walter Cronkite for the Gen-X audience." "He may very well, in the general area of sports broadcasting, be the best ever."
