OK, I just stole this from Mike and Mike. If you had to build a Mt. Rushmore of Sportscasters, who would be your 4 Honorees? There is no right or wrong answer, and everyone's will be different. It will be announcers that you enjoy or have enjoyed the most throughout your life. This is who you enjoy the most not a national consensus.

Mine:

Woody Durham
Bill Rafftery
Mel Allen
John Madden
