Who is the best baseball play-by-play announcer of ALL-TIME???? My vote is for Ernie Harwell. Anyone who can make it easier for the audience to listen to a Detroit Tigers game for three hours must be doing something right! Who is your favorite???
 

I am sorry for using the "R" word - and NOTHING EL

Great question!

Ernie Harwell and Jack Buck would head my list of favorites.

Windyduck - Vin Scully would be my second choice. He is so SMOOTH and is NOT a HOMER like SO many play-by-play announcers.

i've always liked jon miller...he is a likable guy. Same with Joe Morgan... i end up listening to the both of them alot more so than watching the game...

hmm best of all time? I used to get WGN on my basic cable back in the 80's...Harry Carry was the best !

Two different styles but:
Bob Prince
Vin Scully


Harwell hard to argue with though.

we should do worst announcers for every sport and best announcers play by play of every sport...someone start a new thread.

jateeluv - we will gather up a list of those others soon, but let's get more opinions on this thread first. BTW, who is YOUR favorite play-by-play announcers. And don't forget, we are JUST talking about play-by-play. Bill Walton and Joe Morgan are color commentators!

Walton was a joke.

Gary Cohen (radio)is pretty damn good and I hate the Mets.
