Another great duo. It seemed like they called every Big Red/Dallas game.

He and Chico Resch were quite the pair on SportsChannel New York.

I’m glad he was able to call the Blues’ Cup victory.

I personally love Mike Breen. He does a good job accentuating high-stakes moments.

Years ago, I used to get every Dodgers and Padres broadcast. I can't put into words how great it was to be able to flip back and forth to listen to Vin Scully and Dick Enberg. Outside of them, folks have already mentioned my other favorites.

I'll throw out a forgotten name for us old folks. In the 70's and 80's, Jack Whitaker was Mr. Triple Crown and Mr. Masters for CBS.

I liked Marv Albert's work on the NBA on NBC during Jordan's run with the Bulls.

Dick Vermiel called a lot of Raiders' games on NBC when I was a huge fan in the 1990s.

I liked Mike Patrick and Joe Theisman on the Sunday Night Football on ESPN, back in the day.

I wouldn’t care if Ron Franklin was calling Texas Southern vs Florida A&M. I would have been all over it.

I can't believe it took 5 pages to get Mike Breen.

His BANG call is one of my favorites.
