Piggybacking off the discussion of favorite calls in wrestling... great moments in sports commentary! What are your favorites? Two of mine came from the same play: Sid Bream sliding in safely to send the Atlanta Braves to the World Series in 1992. Skip Caray on Braves radio and Sean McDonough on CBS provided two great calls from two different perspectives (Caray the unabashed Braves homer, McDonough the national play-by-play man). I've memorized each one verbatim because I've heard them several hundred times. Another classic call came from the 2014 Stanley Cup Final when the Los Angeles Kings beat the New York Rangers with a double-overtime goal. Doc Emrick had to say just five words. "Score! The Stanley Cup! Martinez!" There was the excitement in those few words, and then the crowd noise and the goal horn taking over afterwards. It encapsulated that moment brilliantly.

"Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over.......*England score*.....it is now!"
The greatest ever moment in English sporting history and the perfect commentary.

"Redsox fans have *longed* to hear it. The Boston Red Sox are World Champions!!" I loathe Joe Buck, but he actually nailed that call
