Actually, another name that should be there is Dan Kelly. Senior. He died in the late ‘80’s and was THE, and I mean THE best hockey announcer ever. Even Canadians say that. There was - and still is - no one to compare. He basically did a rolling chant through the game, and it was like being there. What Jack Buck was to the Cardinals, Dan Kelly was to the Blues. Priceless. For at least 20 years, St. Louis had the best radio announcers in all of sports. Now we have their sons, although Joe Buck isn't doing Cardinals games as much as he used to. John Kelly, OTOH, sounds like his dad so much it's scary.

The guy who announced Vols football for so many years.

I never heard him. But your post reminds me of Mac McDonald who did Virgina football and basketball, whom I also enjoyed. And in fact I wondered why he languished where few would hear him. But now he's gone since last spring, not clear where to.
