personally I would have to place Red Barber and Mel Allen (how about that!) at the top of that catagory.
Grew up in the 50s and early 60s with WPIX ... so I can't disagree.
That said - it's hard to say any ONE announcer is the best.
I listen to Scully (via the MLB package), and as good as he is ... he never shuts up!

as good as he is ... he never shuts up! Scully works alone. He probably says less than the combined chatter of the two and three man teams. Also, he has been praised for the fact that he does know when to shut up when the crowd noise tells the story.
