Where is the next Vin Scully?
No one will likely ever equal Scully’s longevity as an announcer with one team.
I have not heard a young announcer recently who seems likely to survive 10 years. The young guys are cookie cutter announcers that all sound the same and to me are boring. I haven’t heard them all though. Is there a current MLB announcer with five years or less on the job, that you think will last 30 years or more. Not looking for a Joe Buck type, but a young guy starting out that has a future and who is entertaining, perhaps Ueckeresque. The floor is now open for nominations.

Bob Uecker is 48 years in. I don't think anybody else will come close to that again, let alone Scully's 66 years. Uecker won't catch Scully because he was a Major Leaguer first. Ueck played until he was 33. Scully started with the Dodgers when he was 23.

Indians' Tom Hamilton (age 64) has been on the radio call for almost 30 years. Worth turning the TV volume off during games.

I find most announcing teams to be horrible. I used to think the Yankees had a goofy team and other teams probably had the same friendly atmosphere for their games, but boy was I wrong. When I lived in SF it felt like the entire purpose of the announcing team was to see if I could stay awake for a whole game.

I agree that I haven't heard them all but the majority of them really suck.

I do think Joe Buck is terrible and has ridden his daddy's coattails. That doesn't mean I think everyone is terrible. And no one is "carrying on."
