Basketball - Chick Hearn
Football - Keith Jackson
Hockey - none
Steve
Basketball - Dicky V.
Football - John Madden
Hockey - Al Micheals (for at least one famous call)
That guy is all about self promotion
2 minutes left with the score tied , crowds going ballistic and all he's talking about is his " diaper dandy " and the rest of his ridiculous teams.
It's not all about your " gotta get a T.O Baby " and about his " Rolls Royce " teams , it's about THE GAME being played
Clement/Melrose/Pang
Keith Jackson
any basketball announcer who tells me the game is over and Sportscenter is next
<< <i>Dick Vitale ? ? >>
<< <i>That guy is all about self promotion >>
I couldn't think of any other basketball announcer besides the Alberts. Dicky V is a love/hate relationship, he gets on my nerves but I always find myself quoting him when watching a game. Get a TO BABY!
Steve
Mel Allen
Every weekend when I was growing up in the 1970's, I absolutely HAD TO be at home when This Week in Baseball came on because I loved hearing Mel's voice and the way he described the action
Also, Harry Kalas has got to have the second best voice ever, after the late, great "Voice of God", John Facenda
Steve
Although he was never one of my favorites, Chick Hearn coined a lot of terms that are common now, and was a pretty good announcer.
Mel Allen was great, and I always like Al Michaels for any sport he was doing.
Least favorite?
Jim Gray, hands down. A complete waste of human flesh.
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
basketball- marv albert
football-madden in his prime before he lost it
Basketball- Chick Hearn
Football- probably Keith Jackson
what about Harry Carey singing take me out to the ball game?

Football, Keith Jackson, whooo-Nelly...
Golf, that dude that says "down" like Dine lol...
Nascar, lol JUST kidding........
Yes, McEnroe is a great tennis voice.
I even loved his playing style, but not his mouth.
Are you old enough to remember Soccer Made in Germany on PBS ?
There was an announcer in the late 70's/early 80's named Toby Charles.
I have about 20 games on tape. I just love listening to him announce a game.
IT'S IN THE BACK OF THE NET !!!!
Henry Longhurst doesn't even get a honorable mention for Golf?

ZSZ70: I vaguely remember PBS soccer...kinda like my golf knowledge from way back then, lol. Now I really like watching World Cup/National team soccer, women's soccer and college games.
Regarding McEnroe, his antics weren't something I admire but his playing was top notch. I didn't think his show on CNBC? was that bad either the coupla times I saw it.
