Herb Kanill (spelling?) out of Minnesota for the Twins.


You mean Herb Carneal. HOF broadcaster for the Twins who passed away
in April, 2007 due to congestive heart failure.

Marty Brennaman on WLW 700 out of Cincinnati for the Reds.


Before Marty, there was Al Michaels on WLW. Yes, THAT Al Michaels.

One of my favorite baseball radio calls of all time, etched into my
memory forever, is Michaels' call of the game-tying HR by Johnny Bench
leading off the ninth inning of Game 5, NLCS, Reds vs. Pirates,
October 11, 1972 at Cinergy Field in Cinci. "Change hit in the air to
deep right field! Back goes Clemente!! At the fence!! SHE'S GONE!!!"
