Mentioned him earlier already. And don't forget his added notoriety as the real life announcer for the Brewers since 1971, yes since 1971, and still doing them. He also did network broadcasts over several decades with ABC and NBC, teaming with the likes of Bob Costas and Joe Morgan. He was a guest on The Tonight Show something like 100 times, where it was Carson who dubbed him Mr. Baseball. Was the ring announcer for Wrestlemania III, and a ringside announcer for Wrestlemania IV. He starred in the "Mr. Belvedere" TV sitcom, along with cameos and other appearances and voice parts in numerous TV shows, movies and commercial. However, he may best be known for his appearances in Miller Lite commercials in the '80s, and for his iconic role as play-by-play announcer Harry Doyle in the "Major League" movie franchise. What a career!
