No mention of the Fisk homer in '75 by Dick Stockton?

A great game and a great moment in baseball history. But I don't think Stockton's call did enough to capture the drama of that moment and of the culmination of perhaps the greatest game in history.

It was a better call than Castiglione sleeping through the final out of the 2004 World Series but I don't think it belongs on a list of 'greatest calls'. The call itself just didn't do enough for me.
