When you listened to Jack Buck call a football game on the radio, you might as well have been watching it...

I went to college with the son of No. 42 Johnny Most.

Toss-up between Scully and Keith Jackson.

I thought Fred Cusick did a tremendous job for the Boston Bruins for many years.

Ken Coleman should be on that list. A great baseball guy with a voice as smooooooth as a cold Hudepohl beer.

Interesting. I played football against him when he was at Wayland High. The son...not Johnny.

I agree with Scully, but overall the list looks kinda New Yorky to me. And Bob Costas as #6 overall is a farce.

My favorite was always Keith Jackson. I never cared for Howard Cosell but he was a good announcer.

No Chris Economaki?

No Johnny Pesky? I used to love the way he’d digress in the middle of an inning and talk about how he coached so and so in the Grapefruit League back in ‘62... meanwhile, the Sox just scored 2 runs....

37 - Marty Brennaman

Joe Nuxhall should be 37½. Marty and Joe were always the sound of summer for me.
