    Name your favorite announcers in any sport

    Chick Hearn, Vin Scully, Al Michaels, Marv Albert, Jon Miller, John Sterling, Hubie Brown, Howard Cosell

    Best duo: John Madden and Pat Summerall

    I want to add that Joe Torre was an excellent color commentator before he became a manager. Sometimes I'll leave Dodgers, Giants, and Yankees games on just to listen to Vin Scully, Jon Miller, or John Sterling and I did that with John Madden and Pat Summerall as well, oftentimes they're much more interesting than the games.

    Vin Scully hands down.

    The Yankees announcers are good and the guys that do Sunday night football and Monday night football are good. Also worth mentioning is chicago white sox announcers.

    LEAST FAVORITE = Joe Buck and Tim McCarver and Ken Rosenthal. Yet for some reason these guys get to do the all-star game and world series. I wish they would allow vin scully to announce the world series this year.

    Joe Castiglone, Johnny Holiday or Jon Miller on the Radio and Ray Hudson for pictures.

    Oh and Hubie Brown is the only basketball announcer worth a 5hit.

    lol, i agree, it took a while but now i know immediately because ron's is a little "rounder" and keith's is a little "sharper".
