Seems to me that those of us who are the more chronologically gifted here have grown older having some of the best sports announcers ever. While I don't want to sound like my Dad's "You call that music?", I listened to a lot of guys who could talk rings around the current crop of mouthpieces.

The Big Game, whether World Series, Rose Bowl, NBA finals, and so on lives in our minds not only with the image but with the voice. Who saw US v. USSR hockey in '80. Bet that brings more than just a visual to mind. Can today's announcers do that?
