Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Jerry Coleman and Bob Chandler were great with the Padres in the 70's. And on into the 90's for that matter. Very nice approachable people as well.

Chick was amazing; I instantly think of Jello jiggling and eggs cooling, and also "Johnson to Worthy, slam dunk". Ditto Bob Miller, who did the Kings games. We had some of the best in the business in Los Angeles. Another whose calls I genuinely enjoyed was Jim Lampley on HBO boxing.

Jerry Coleman is mentioned several times (Let's don't forget Ted Leitner) so:

"Let's Hang a Star on that One!"

or if you prefer Dizzy Dean (at least what I was told when I was a kid):

"He's kissing her on the strikes and she's kissing him on the balls!"
