There hasn’t been a combo like Cossell, Meredith and Gifford since. Listening to Cossell pontificate while Meredith bursts his bubble and Gifford plays straight man was quite an experience. (”Turn out the lights, the party’s over.”) The only sports combo that came close was Dizzy Dean and PeeWee Reese.

Remembering..."Dandy Don it certainly seems that there is a plethora of passing in the game tonight. Wouldn't you agree?

"Well, Howard. I don't know about that. But both teams are really throwing a lot of passes."

The original Monday Night Baseball crew of Bob Prince, Warner Wolf and Bob Uecker was close.

And Harry Carey and Steve Stone or anyone else. Where else could you learn how to spell words backwards?
