Oso planning to go pro
No love for Bob Uecker?
Dick Button and Peggy Fleming.Sorry, Scott Hamilton and Elfi Schlegel just don't cut it. However, Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski are showing some promise.
I remember being stoned watching a show entirely about Earl Gillespie fishing for muskie around Hayward. Bizarre
Dick Enberg and Al, the best tandem in college basketball..None better that Jim Mckay On ABCs Wide World of Sports; "the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat."
Juuuussst a bit outside!
There is something about baseball announcers on AM radio.Used to love Milo Hamilton, Vince Lloyd, and Lou Boudreau on WGN.One of my favorite radio calls was by Harry Caray. August of 1990 night game. Harry was doing radio, middle innings, against the Cardinals. Whitey Herzog had been bitching about the umps not calling balks all season. Cubs loaded the bases. Cardinal pitcher was called for a balk. Run scores. Harry simply says, "Whitey, he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword".
A few more favorites from Harry:-One more biscuit for breakfast and that one's outta here.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.

I routinely fall asleep to Scully doing Dodgers games on Extra Innings. I'm not familiar with why locals are not getting Dodger games, but that sounds like an absolute crime.
I have very fond memories of living in Boston and listening to Johnny Most, the Voice of the Celtics, on the radio. We used to listen to him while tuning in on TV and wonder if he was watching the same game.Great whiskey-and-cigarette voice. Unapologetic homer. One time he thought the refs were in the tank for Milwaukee and ignoring the obvious manner in which they were running over his beloved Boston team. Towards the end, he was referring to the "Milwaukee Trucks". Twenty-eight years later, whenever we believe a foul is unfairly called on Marquette and the other team's player misses the free throw, jsglow and I say in unison in the most gravelly voices we can muster, "And justice is served!"
One of my best friends at MU grew up a Celtic fan in Meriden CT. Not sure if this was real, but he did a Johnny Most imitation that went something like this: In your best Johnny Most voice"I can't believe it. Chamberlain just stuck his eye in Russell's elbow."
