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.

Let me reiterate.

I’m not looking for current announcers who have been around for 25-30 years already, that you have already named.

I’m looking for a young announcer (5 years or less) who you think has the potential to become a long standing legend. Personally I haven’t heard one.

Carry on.

John Sterlings stupid nickname HR calls are the worst. It was clever with Bernie Williams but now he has to have one for every player, its really ridiculous.

I guess I was really talking about the booth. Paul O'Neill is always funny to listen to because he hardly talks about the game going on and has a great rapport with Michael Kay. I also love listening to David Cone.

Michael Kay is probably the answer to this question. He might have a lot of years already put in, but he's not an old guy and Sterling is still doing every game every day into his 80s.

Frank, I was thinking about this recently. Sadly, I don't have a name for you...wish I did.
