Hands down the best voice in the history of sports, the Voice of God....debuted on an April day in 1951 in a 5-0 win against the Red Sox. As well, some guy named Micky Mantle had his first game that day...

First lineup card from that game, amazing names on here, 8 HOF'ers (bolded)....he also did Giant football games, boxing matches, and a host of other sporting event.....truly one of a kind, and will be missed certainly
