Re: What are your all time favorite announcers\' calls?
[ QUOTE ]
Don't forget the classics:
Russ Hodges, "The Giants win the pennant!"
Johnny Most, "Havlicek stole the ball!"
Al Michaels, "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!"

Those are definite classics, but I was trying to restrict my personal memories to calls I heard live. I did hear the Michaels call as it was broadcast (I was 10 years old), but as great as it was and is, I already knew the result of the game (some moron had called our house thinking he was giving us some kind of scoop, and my Dad was foolish enough to tell me they won). Took a little luster off the moment at the time, but now I usually choke up when I hear it.
One that I forgot to mention is Verne Lundquist's call on Tiger's chip-in at the Masters. "In your LIFE..."
