Dugout Central: Moore: Baseball’s Best Announcers

Yeeerch!...Some of the names on this list makes me want to feel someone’s throat with a pair of super-vanadium bolzenschneider pincers!

10 – Marty Brennaman

Certainly not to be confused with his son Thom, who too often shows displeasure for the antics of the 21st century athlete, Marty is a classic voice who has done multiple sports on the national stage, but still shows his passion for his beloved Cincinnati Reds.

6 – Joe Buck

Buck certainly has his detractors, and often interjects too much of his own opinion into the broadcast when facts would better serve his listeners, but his classic voice coupled with a strong knowledge of the game make a good package for someone who is also asked to split his time as the top football announcer for Fox. More importantly, he manages to maintain his composure and professionalism while being stuck next to the incredibly long-winded and often incorrect Tim McCarver. The sheer fact that he hasn’t stopped in the middle of a broadcast to ask McCarver what the heck he’s talking about is a testament to Buck. I’d rather hear Buck’s opinion, as out of place as it might be during a baseball game, than hear McCarver say something completely untrue.
