The Blues made their epic run to the Stanley Cup championship then, and in the process their lead radio announcer made a noble, selfless gesture. Chris Kerber relinquished the play-by-play duties for the second period of the contests in the Finals, the biggest games he ever has called. Why? So his television counterpart, John Kelly, could experience the thrill of broadcasting the team’s first appearance in the NHL’s title round since his dad — legendary Blues announcer Dan Kelly — called the 1970 Finals. The local hockey TV broadcasters are done working after the first round of the playoffs, as national networks have exclusive rights the rest of the way. In Major League Baseball, there are no local postseason telecasts. All are national productions. Therefore longtime Cardinals television voice Dan McLaughlin has been shut out of the team’s October runs in this century. But it looks as if that won’t be the case this year if the Cards make the postseason. McLaughlin has joined the radio crew for a handful of games this season when Bally Sports Midwest’s productions are bumped in favor of national coverage, and is set to do so again Saturday when Fox has the club’s game at home against the Yankees (6:15 p.m., KTVI, Channel 2 locally). “This is all John Rooney and the radio side,” McLaughlin said, adding that the team was in Kansas City early in the season when Rooney presented the idea. “He never had to do that.
