Great Calls in Sports Broadcasting History

[DMac]

You gonna come on as Angus next?

Don’t forget the ‘nut.

[DMac]

Interesting tid-bit, njb. When FL replaced LP I logged in as hickorystick, I later switched back to DMac (was dmac at LP) and explained that it just felt more natural to me. I can still log on as hickorystick but I can't post anything under that name. Meanwhile, ONW can use all his screen names and post with all of them. Rather odd, eh? Favoritism? Click on the exclamation point of his posts that include his videos and see what you get...here, I'll save you the trouble, it'll say "This message contains links to illegal or pirated software." Nice, eh?

Just fixing some links, boys. Don't go getting yourselves all in an uproar.

Buffalo Sabres announcer Rick Jeanneret--one of his calls that stands out in WNY--the Jimmy Hoffa classic

Never heard this one before. I loved listening to Rick call a game. One of the greats.

[OuttaNowhereWregget]

not quite as memorable as those above but it's a personal favorite:





so much has been said about this moment over the years but many overlook the fact that Mookie had a great at bat where he fought off several really good pitches

Easily in my top 10

Different call with Musburger. Not as dramatic as the BC call but still noteworthy. Great additions to the thread, by the way.
