By the way, anybody here remember Earl Gillespie, who did the Braves radio broadcasts in the '50s when they were the best team in baseball? That was my first exposure to baseball play-by-play, and I thought he was terrific. A mostly-forgotten name now.
I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned Bob Prince, who seemed to be beloved by everyone I ever met from Pittsburgh.
And I can't believe the Red Sox fans here are too young to remember and idolize Ned Martin.
As for Harry Carey, he hung on way too long. By all accounts he was a terrific announcer in his younger days, and he became a hilarious character in his final decade or so, but a terrible announcer. I'll never forget him butchering a call on a Cubs game near the end -- Ryne Sandberg lined out to third and the defense started running off the field. Harry obviously missed the play, so after a moment of confusion, he yelled, "Swing and miss, strike three!"
