Re: What are your all time favorite announcers\' calls?
Al Michaels "Do you believe in Miracles?" is #1 for me
[censored] Joe Buck. His call may have been good on the Ortiz HR, but he spent half his air time in the 2003 and 2004 playoffs talking about curses.
As for Castiglione, I recall running to grab a radio just to listen to his call at the end. I was also disappointed at the time, but after reflecting on it, I think it would have been cheesy if he tried to turn into someone else for that call.
I've tried thinking about what I would have said, and it probably would have been some sort of take on the famous SOSH "win it for..." thread, but I think it may have come off as a little fake had Castiglione done it. The fact was that game 4 and the WS in general were pretty anti-climatic and his call was in line with that.
