Miller is the Giants' local radio play-by-play man and a life-long fan of the team, but he also moonlights for ESPN Radio's national broadcast of the World Series.

"It was kind of nerve-wracking," he tells NPR's Neal Conan. "[I was] very mindful that there were a lot of Texas Ranger fans tuned in to that game, and a lot of fans who weren't really following either ballclub."

Miller says the job is the same for the local play-by-play guy and the national one: "Try to describe accurately what's going on, try to be on top of everything, to give a good visual image of the action on the radio."

But if he'd been doing the local broadcast, he says he would have called the game only slightly differently and maybe wouldn't have been so mindful of Yankee, Red Sox and White Sox fans.

"Let's face it, when Renteria hit the home run, it was a tremendously exciting moment for Giants fans, and I got excited about it," he says. But he believes, had it gone the opposite way, he would have been "equally as excited" about that.

"Baseball's exciting one way or the other. Even if it's a local broadcast, for me it's always about the game itself, and how interesting, exciting, and just how much fun it is," Miller says. "I try to bring that through in the broadcast, because I think that's our real job, as baseball broadcasters."

He says he thoroughly enjoyed the celebration in San Francisco following the team's big win.

"It was an amazing day," he recalls, "and I'm sure a day that everyone will long remember in the city of San Francisco."
