Bill Walton calls a baseball game
Legendary basketball player, broadcaster, Deadhead, child of the counterculture, and universe lover Bill Walton called a baseball game on Friday night. Normally, Walton does basketball. This was outside his comfort zone, but his rambling and enthusiasm fit hilariously well. This was the opening to the broadcast:
Bill Walton has been dead for years according to Bill Walton. Checks out. pic.twitter.com/itikYxuSdc

The rest of the broadcast continued in the same vein:
Please put Bill Walton in every single baseball booth ever for the rest of time.
