Prof,

I wish you would do a basic compilation of all the great announcers...at least for the first one...and then do a package or two with several announcers.

Just try to keep them from being too archaic.

Any call you use should be clear as to the meaning, if that is possible.

Looking forward to what you come up with.

I go back to the days of LBS and Gordon "The Old Scotchman" (not too sure if I got the nickname right?), Lindsey Nelson and I think Jerry Doggett.

On rainy days or off days they would recreate a classic game. I remember hearing the first allstar game, when Hubbell struck out six in a row....also a world series game where Hack Wilson? dropped a flyball and open the gates for the A's to score nine or ten runs to win the game...might have been one of the biggest comebacks in WS history.

I heard a regular season game where either the Red Sox or Indians were trialing 14-0 early and won 15-14.
