One I haven't seen mentioned here is Steve Stone, the color man for
the Chicago Cubs.  He's very knowledgeable, very articulate, and he
doesn't get "cute" like some other announcers.  At one time, Stone
was an excellent pitcher (I forget which team).

While Harry Carey may not be everyone's favorite, you have to give him
credit for being unique and enthusiastic.  The man's an institution;
part of what baseball is all about.  He may get sloshed and moan and
groan about every managerial move that doesn't work, but there's
something that's just "right" about Carey leaning out of the broadcast
booth, leading the crowd in a rousing rendition of "Take Me Out to
the Ball Game."  Back in the 60's and early 70's, he and Jack Buck were
one outstanding team for the Cardinals.

Tim McCarver knows his stuff.  If he'd only stop listening to the 
Phil Rizzuto tapes and lay off the dumb stories and bad puns.
