1- "He is running like a tremendous machine". Still gives me goose bumps when I hear it. Secretariat wins the Preakness by 26 lengths.

2- "Do you believe in miracles ?" Doesn't give me goose bumps, but it was the perfect call for a team that had the attention of all America.

3- "The Giants win the pennant, the Giants win the pennant !" A historical comeback completed with
a tremendous call, that showed the enthusiasm of the fan base.

4- "Down Goes Frazier !!" Probably #4 just because of the greatness of Ali.

    Greatest at bat ever, and call by the greatest announcer in sports.

    "The Eagles win the Super Bowl, the Eagles win the Super Bowl."

    That was my greatest broadcast moment. Sorry there's no video, i probably should have recorded it for posterity.

    Maz's home run in 1960.

    IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED

    My personal ones are:
    "We Will See You Tomorrow Night” (Twins 1991 World Series game 6)
    "Diggs...Sideline...Touchdown...Unbelievable" (2018 Vikings-Saints playoff)
    "Are you kidding me? It's a Minneapolis Miracle" (2018 Vikings-Saints playoff)

    hammer1 has the right moment but wrong announcer. Buck's greatest call: "I don't believe what I just saw!"
    Lampley's call of Foreman knocking out Moorer, "It happened! It happened!"

    "Look up, old boy, and see what you get." -William Bonney.

    Do you believe in miracles? United States winning over the powerful Russian national team at the 1980 Olympics in ice hockey.
