Media Approval Ratings: John Kruk
We remember, when John Kruk left "The Best Damn Sports Show" to join "Baseball Tonight," we worried that it would dumb down the show. At the time, it was pretty much Tim Kurkjian, Peter Gammons, Jayson Stark ... a bunch of smart baseball people discussing the great game. Kruk was a different kind of baseball person, we'd say.
We're not sure Kruk is that bad, though, and we are regular "Baseball Tonight" watchers. But man, those hair explosions. The Sports Hernia has had quite a bit of fun with this.
Of course, for Philly fans — or anyone who, like us, loved that 1993 team — Kruk will always hold a special place in the heart. And he's not crazy like Daulton either.
So: Do you like the John Kruk? Do you not like the John Kruk? Voters unite!
