Not to dwell on the negative when we should be celebrating Hutton's career, but it's his "honesty" mentioned in this video, towards the end, that got him fired by Loria.

Loria simped hard for the players and some of them apparently complained about Hutton being too critical. And apparently Loria himself got mad when Hutton would remark on the ballpark dimensions in those early days, which were cavernous and suppressed home runs.

Ridiculous that he was let go with no farewell or ceremony. One of the dumber things Loria has ever done. Hutton's honesty is his virtue.

I remember when Hanley kicked that ball down the line and lazily jogged after it, resulting in extra bases for the hitter, and got all pissed off when Tommy called him out for it on the broadcast

Tommy Hutton is the man, the voice of baseball for my entire life.

Tommy will forever be one of my favourite commentators ever. His passion, his honesty, when he would get angry at bad calls. Gonna miss hearing that voice.

Only just got around to watching this after missing the last game of the season. I'm gonna miss Tommy so much.
