Chuck Thompson will forever be my favorite..."Stepping in Boog Powell, a mountain of a man" I lived down the Shore in Jersey and could catch my Orioles if I used the radio in the kitchen.
I grew up watching Yankee and Mets games on NY television. I never rooted for either but their broadcasters became very familiar to me. Phil Rizzuto, Mel Allen, Red Barber, Joe Garagiola for the Yankees, Bob Murphy, Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Kiner for the Mets. All their voices were part of my childhood and I can hear them still.
