"A little roller down the first base line...it's behind the bag!"

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.

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.

Jim McKay.

Honorable Mention to Al Michaels -- Do you believe in miracles! Yes! And then he went quiet. How many of today's media personnel would have done that.

I’m partial to the Dallas Stars announcing team of Ralph Strangis/Darryl ‘Razor’ Reaugh. They’ve really helped the Stars make it here in Dallas IMHO, they’re so good, that they are simulcast on the radio and TV for Stars games.

My all time favorite was Curt Gowdy. Red Sox baseball and the AFL games he did with Al DeRogatis were the best memories I have of radio and televised sports.
