There is one clip, from the Expos final game, that is an absolute tear-jerker. I'm pretty sure Price is the main guy at the mic, but it is post-game and they run a montage of calls from throughout Expos history set to music. Awesome!!! And very, very, sad. During their last season, when playing the Marlins, they also had Van Horne come over into their booth (from Florida's) to call one last inning...and his closing was heart-rending as well. I'll have to dig it out and transcribe his final farewell. It was great.
