Scully is class. I’m partial to Bob Prince, aka The Gunner.

Gotta say, Prince was very good. And I was never a Pirate fan. I was a Giants fan who discovered I could listen to some Giants' games out of WWVA when the Giants played the Pirates. I liked that Prince was a "homer" but not an actor. But in this regard, Prince was supplanted by Phil Rizzuto. (And BTW I'm a Yankee hater.)

Of course Russ Hodges made the best call of all time! (It's really sad to contrast this with all the phony "See ya's," the fake celebrations when some team wins a close game to move into fifth place sometime in July, and everything else today.

I loved The Gunner - he made baseball on the radio about as exciting as being at the park. He sure didn’t do well with hockey, though.
