Apart from the obvious "Do you believe in miracles" call from Al Michaels, what is your personal favorite from any game or event?
I had one of those Best Damn Top 100 countdowns of the most unbelievable moments in sports history saved on my DVR, and was watching it earlier today and it brought back a little nostalgia
Mine would have to be the calls from the Boise State Oklahoma game. Something about both calls gives me chills every time I hear it. Probably the greatest game I have ever seen.
At 42 sec and 1.43 in the video

However, the worst call I have ever heard was from Joe Buck (the worst announcer in history)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sub4YQhjeaM
Tyree made one of the greatest catches of all time and Buck makes it seem like it happened in a preseason game
What would you consider your favorite/least favorite sports announcer call? -
easy, best call, and fist pump, EVER imo ..

Jack Buck's "I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW...........I DON'T BELIEEEEEEEEEEVE WHAT I JUST SAW" call of the Kirk Gibson limp-off HR was better than Scully's IMHO.
Also, the "GO CRAZY, FOLKS...GO CRAZY!!" call of Ozzie's walk-off is one of the more special calls.
I'm obviously biased as a Cardinals fan and huge Jack Buck fan, but he was definitely one of the best. -
cue anything Hawk Harrelson says...

scully's call of gibson or "sandy into his windup here's the pitch. swung on and missed a perfect game!" scully is simply the best ever.

David Feherty calling a shot by Tiger:
Ernie is tied with Tiger and hes in the middle of the fairway. Im standing with Ernie and my microphone is open. Ken Venturi [in the CBS booth] sends it to me and I say, Tigers got 184 yards with two big red oaks overhanging the green. Hes got absolutely nothing. With a stick of dynamite and a sand wedge I might be able to move this ball 50 yards. Steve Williams [Woods' caddie] tells me [with a hand signal] that hes using a pitching wedge.
Tiger takes his swing. Every muscle in his body is flung at the ball. It looks like hes torn his nutsack. The divot went as far as I could hit the ball. Ive got my microphone at my mouth thinking, what the hell was that! The ball sails over the trees, lands behind the hole and backs up to about six feet from the flag. I open my microphone and Ernie turns and says, Fuck me!
My producer comes on in my earpiece and says, Was that Ernie? I say yes.
He says, Fair enough. -
wtf posting this n but not posting the "i cant believe what i just saw" version has to be a fail, i dont get it he doesnt even say anything

I would absolutely say this if I saw it live on TV, something about not seeing it when it happens just doesn't make it as cool for me i guess. What I wouldve given to see it live though

hillbillies ftw -
WTF are you talking about? did you even listen to it? GTFO! the silence after is great, just let the crowd roar and STFU. Jack Buck is great, but Vin is the greatest ever.

I love both announcers, but we are going with "greatest call" right? Not "greatest let-the-crowd-road-and-STFU."

Buck's call on the Gibson HR >> Scully's.
Again, JMO. You're entitled to yours. -

"Better than most!"
This has to be in this thread. Anytime I hear someone say "Better than most" I hear Gary Koch in my head and I envision this putt. Awesome moment and commentary. -
Clearly Gus Johnson calling Sorretine for 3
GOTTTTTTTTTTTTT ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT -
"Touch 'em all, Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!"
for some reason the video is not on youtube -
jealousy sucks imo. Look behind him and there are a million empty seats. I bet that it is mid-June in the fifth inning and there is no one at the Red's game. I would hate the Cubs too if everytime I showed up at their stadium it was sold out, and I worked for a piss poor organization that can't even get 5,000 fans in the gate, except for when the Cubs come into town.
