BYE BYE AL MICHAELS!!! FINALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY!!!!

Not many people know this, but before Al Michaels went to Monday Night Football he did the local Cincinnati Reds radio broadcasts for a couple years.

In 1971 Michaels moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he became the lead announcer for the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball. That year, he made his first historic call ever. In Game 5 of the National League Championship Series, with the Reds trailing the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 in the 9th inning, Johnny Bench was at the plate with one ball and two strikes and on the next pitch Al said "1-2 the wind and the pitch to Bench, change hit in the air to deep right field, back goes Clemente at the fence...it's gone!!!" The Reds would win that game 4-3 and advanced to the World Series. He covered the World Series in 1972 for NBC Sports.
