Best baseball announcers in history?

[steveox]

I think Chuck Thompson and Bill O Donnell were the best!!!!

[ElCaminoSS]

Vin Scully is still the best

[steveox]

Hey if youre gonna talk about the dodgers anouncer why not mention red barber? He was the Brooklyn Dodgers radio man.

[ElCaminoSS]

Ive heard he was great but unfortunately he was announcing around the time my dad was born so I have never heard him except on that Baseball-9 disk set thing

[Yankee Legend]

No baseball announcer can compare to the Scooter. (That's Phill Rizzuto in case you don't know)

"HOLY COW!!!!!"

i heard dizzy dean could tell a good story but his command of the english language is similar to how steveox writes :noidea

[KCGHOST]

Mel Allen was the real deal. Scooter was clueless.

I hated Vin Scully from the time I first heard him (late 50's). He could turn the Second Coming into boring recitation about the relatives coming over.

I don't know who was the best, but Harry Caray was a favorite of mine, though you sometimes you wondered what game he was watching.

i agree about vin scully - he is so drab - everyone raves about him so i just thought i was off

i never heard an intelligent word from rizzuto

today - i like espn's sunday night crew - miller has always been a favorite here in baltimore and i've never learned so much about pitching than listening to morgan for three hours

Ernie Harwell

Vin Scully is the finest baeball announcer, but I will give a vote for Dick Enberg who was the Angels announcer (along with the Rams, UCLA, even did LA Blades hockey) for many years before the networks grabbed him up.

BTW, he was a coach (and professor) at San Fernando State College (Now Cal State Northridge) which was Lyman Bostock, Jason Thompson, and Adam Kennedy's alma mater, before he became the Angels announcer.

Ernie Harwell could paint the picture as well as anybody, and he had to put up with Jim Price who thinks he is a baseball god because he was the backup cather for the 68 Tigers for the last ten years of his career...I can't stand Jim Price (am I right Tiger's fans?)
George Kell and Al Kaline were great on TV.
Harry Caray was great too. I remember watching the Cubbies on WGN in the afternoon all summer long, and then watching Tigers games at night...a daily doubleheader with great announcers for both.
