Jack Brickhouse hands down.

Ah, the days of Iron Men and Wooden Ships when Harry
Creighton finished a six pack of Hamms Beer before
the exchanging of lineups, was pissing sky blue water
during the fourth inning, and rarely said more than
three words at a time by the seventh.

I can't remember the name of the real dunce who came
after Creighton and before Steve Stone.

I don't think so! Vince Lloyd teamed with Brickhouse. Pettit was mostly on
radio when Brickhouse was on TV.

Actually <if I may answer my own post>
the best announcer, radio OR TV, was
good ol Jack Quinlen..... for my money when he got teamed with Boudreou
<sp>
they were outstanding.... made me laff all the time.... I would listen
to them two knuckleheads while I sat out in the bleachers and got
bleached..... and er, ah, bombed.... ha

I talked to Brickhouse one time about JQ and he said the very first time
he heard him he knew he was one of the great ones..... and he proved to
be right....

<yeah Brickhouse did talk to me>

Quinlen is a little before my time, but I remember listening to a lot
of games with Vince Lloyd and Lou Boudreau.

While there was a time when Vince and Jack were a team, Vince was
better remembered with Lou Boudreau on the Radio. Pettit did do tv with
Jack in the 60's, but I don't remember how long or exactly when. I do
remember that Pettit was very good, and that he was an even better,
(perhaps one of the best) hockey announcer.
