Totally agree. Joe Buck just didn't shut up on radio but that's the one you usually hear not the NBC Scully call. Pat Summerall was close to Scully as an announcer and he shut up after Vaneteri's winning field goal in Super Bowl 36. He just said...."It's Good!" and let you watch the celebration.
jonathan Katz - I was there when it happened. Skydome (now Rogers Centre) 1993 world series game 6 against the phillies. for the entire bottom of the 9th everyone in the lower bowl at skydome was standing on their chairs. it was incredibile. never forget it.
This was the first time that I watched a World Series as a child and that call and Joe's child-like celebratory excitement always stuck with me. That's what it's all about.
What’s more incredible is Flutie was like 5’8 and he made a 60 years pass. The call always makes me laugh but in an emotional way that is a brilliant call to say the least
The whole call is incredible…the building crescendo from the realization it has a chance, to a great chance, to a near certainty, followed by the confirmation of no flags, thus confirming the validity of the TD, with perfect fluidity and tone. Just textbook brilliance in the booth to match it on the field.
unless you don't believe in miracles. lol but seriously, it's perfect because al michaels says it perfectly, as a question, until there's all zero's on the clock
Man... I'm sitting at my work desk, tears in my eyes, reminded in this very moment why sports are so amazing. They fill people with hope, in an otherwise seemingly hopeless world. They bring people, who have almost nothing in common, together. It makes us forget about our differences. That's just so crazy to me. Great video. I love sports.
I come back to this video a couple times a year. I showed this to my dad who is a man of few words, but would be moved to emotion when he witnessed pure joy in others. I remember him having to remove his glasses due to the welling up of tears when he heard the Chris Davis FG return for a TD. He wasn't an Auburn fan, but his vicariousness for their euphoria caused such movement in himself. He died December 11, 2022 after a 5 week battle with cancer. I will always think of him when I watch that play or hear that call. Requiescat in Pace, dad.
He does the same thing with the Kirk Gibson world series home run he just shuts up and lets you soak the moment... Oddly enough Jack Buck Kirk Gibson home run call is the I can't believe what I've just seen line 😂
Belmont Stakes 1973 "he's moving like a tremendous machine" secretariat breaks the world record and hasn't seen it broken since. 1.5 miles 2:24. Greatest horse that ever lived
And, the 1973 Preakness call, too. The Belmont call is absolutely great, but I think the call was bolstered by Secretariats earth shattering performance. The 73 Preakness had numerous sub plots during the race, and Anderson nailed them all.
So many of you are wrong. Vin calling “ a black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South” will forever be more significant in the iconoclast over “Do you believe in miracles??” Both were tremendously important moments, each history defining, but Aaron at that moment, and Scully with those words, changed everything. Not just for sports but for an American culture coming to terms with itself.
Vince Scully's call on Gibson's HR was great. But I'll always remember Jack Buck's call on the radio side for the same play, "I can't believe what I just saw!"
4:30 my dad was watching an 80’s baseball documentary on tv, my GF and I are in the next room, and I perfectly recite this call, she was so befuddled why I knew it word for word Because sports broadcasters really leave a lasting impact and signature on the moment. Even the moment if it’s before our time.
I love how sometimes understated less is more feels right, and sometimes over the top raw emotion fits. I think this is an overlooked part of sports, and someone should do a documentary on commentators. Great video
Amazing. I would only add a few more to this list. Most importantly, I would add the final half-lap of Secretariat at the Belmont Stakes giving him racing's first Triple Crown in 25 years. It was well before my time -- but it is one of those few moments in history when we know that we were watching perfection.
I know NHL hockey isn't very popular, but look into Paul Kariya's goal in Game 6 of the 2003 Stanley Cup finals and the "Off the floor! On the board!" call and tell me it wouldn't fit on the list somewhere.
Me not being a hockey fan outside of the Stanley cup finals, it does elevate the moment like a great call should but it just isn't as good in my perspective as many of the ones showed in the video
@@samtyrrel5512 Henderson scores for Canada in the 1972 Summit Series Canada vs Russia with 19 seconds left in game eight I think would be the biggest hockey moment for Canada. Certainly the Miracle on Ice in 1980 was the biggest for the US in hockey. But the Henderson moment was such that people remember where they were and what they were doing when it happened. The country shut down so people could watch the game.
I feel like, “20 years of trying, 20 years of frustration - Dale Earnhardt comes to the checkered flag to win the Daytona 500! Finally!” is a very underrated sports call.
I interviewed Tom Cheek on the radio in 1994 only a few months after the Jay's won back to back. After reading his book Road to Glory, I asked him about his call on Joe Carter's home run. He said in his book he tried not to get too choked up in '92 when they won the first World Series, so it wasn't an overly emotional call. As for Carter's homer, he said, after I played the audio on air, "that was pretty good, wasn't it?" Damn right. RIP Tom Cheek.
I don’t comment very often but I just wanted to say that this is a work of art. The single greatest sports moments video I’ve ever seen. Gave me chills every single clip. Very well put together. I love your previous ones as well. Keep up the good work.
Yes, that should be on here also. His son Joe of course admitted he copied his dad when David Ortiz(Mr. October now, sorry Reggie) hit that HR in Game 4 of 04 ALCS in the 12th inning. "We'll see you later tonight" Game 5 actually started late afternoon but he gets a pass. Such a great call by Jack and Joe.
These are some amazing calls. I wish Dave Niehaus would have maybe gotten a nod here - he’s in the MLB Hall of Fame and that guy could bring me to the brink of tears at any moment with how well he called games and he had some iconic ones to call (Ichiro’s Hit Record, Mariners first trip to postseason, “The Double”, first Father and Son back to back HRs... But every call on this list had a lot of greatness
I still tear up every time I rewatch the call of "The Double", and the only thing better would have been if he could have called Felix's perfect game, but I know he was giving a big ol' "My Oh My" up in heaven both that year and this year when Cal Raleigh sent us back to the playoffs
First time watching this video, I think how Vin Scully described Hank Aaron's 715th HR was absolutely classic Vin Scully, acknowledging the significant historical achievements, not just of him getting to HR no# 715, but the social significant ance as well.
John Hunter some videos splice the two calls together, which is awesome. Each announcer called it perfectly for their broadcast, buck for radio and scully on tv (the images told the story)
@@johnhunter2294 I also love Bucks call...but as great as his call is, dont think it can be in the category of greatest calls if you say the wrong team, saying the Tigers instead of the Dodgers...and unfortunately, in his great call of the Puckett homerun - "we will see you tomorrow night" - that also loses some of the greatness because he says Mitchell instead of Puckett...
@@johnhunter2294 What was better was Vin Scully not saying ANYTHING for a full minute after "GONE!!!". The best announcer in that moment was the crowd (and they did great)!
With props to Verne Lundquist, the national radio call of Laettner's winning shot is truly classic. When the Duke star made the 15-footer, Caywood Ledford - the legendary Kentucky announcer - proclaimed "GOOOOOOD ! And Duke wins it, 104 to 103 ... and THAT IS WHY THEY'RE NUMBER ONE !!" That was to be Mr. Ledford's last call, ending a 39 year run with UK Football and Basketball.
Yep, agreed. I watched it live on TV and decades later I still get goosebumps. Definitely belongs, at least the "tremendous machine" call. Also a technical note: you ought not add a music track to these things. It makes it harder to hear but also competes unnecessarily with the calls themselves.
The 73 Preakness call by Anderson was even better. Give it a close listen. Much more action to cover, and Anderson didn't miss a second of it. He was brilliant. Secretariat's performance in the Belmont was beyond earthly, and made Anderson's call unforgettable.
Fuck. I miss sports...and fans. Deep down, its the only reason we love sports. The comradery of fandom. The joy of loudly celebrating excellence or rare feats...together. I'm crying as I am typing this. I feel like it's over forever 😢😢
When you've got 11+ minutes of the greatest calls in sports history, all you need is the theme from Moneyball underneath playing too loud to hear the greatest calls in sports history.
Harris Highlights would The Pick, featuring Kenny Wheaton be acceptable? Or maybe Iowa Michigan State, with the interception off of the defender's back? The call was hilarious! Just a couple suggestions :)
Harris Highlights Thom Brennaman's call on the Boise State vs Oklahoma hook and lateral and the Statue of Liberty play, Tiger's Woods crazy chip shot from the 2005 masters, and Auburn vs Georgia 2013 Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson.
Twenty years of trying, twenty years of frustration! Dale Earnhardt will come to the caution flag to win the Daytona 500! Finally! The most anticipated moment in racing. If John Elway can win the Super Bowl, Dale Earnhardt said he could win the Daytona 500.
1. Al Michaels - Miracle on Ice 2. See #1 I still get goose bumps & emotional hearing that call 40 yrs later. I remember watching this game on TV as a 10 y/o & I will NEVER forget it.
You can’t forget this out, Barry Bonds’ 756 homerun is not remembered because of Bonds’ homerun, it’s remembered because it’s one of the best calls in sports history by Duane Kuipers.
RandomRogertv Sure was. Texas beat Oklahoma, Oklahoma beat Tech, and Tech beat Texas. I was 11 years old. At TN the time I never knew I'd remember it for the rest of my life.
This ladies & gentlemen, is why we love sports!! Just closing your eyes & listening to the greats, Vin Scully, Jack Buck, Gus Johnson, Al Michaels, to name afew, the greatest moments, that will live forever, these amazing men knew when to keep quiet, & let the images tell the story!!
If that’s Darrell Waltrip calling his baby bro winning the 500…got a pretty good idea why it’s not in more even though it deserves to be. “I hope Dale is ok…”
"THEY'RE NOT GONNA KEEP EM OFF THE FIELD TONIGHT." For some reason that line always gets to me.

“Behind the bag! Gets through Buckner. Here comes Knight and the Mets win!” Gets me every single time
Yes. And his Gibson call.
9:13 and it was in that moment the ginger realized that any remnant of a soul he had left in his body was gone.
When you've got 11+ minutes of the greatest calls in sports history, all you need is the theme from Moneyball underneath playing too loud to hear the greatest calls in sports history.
“The slipper still fits” is a great call
What calls would you like to see in Part 2?
Harris Highlights josh cribbs the immaculate deception
Harris Highlights Oh hell yes
Harris Highlights also what's the background song
Harris Highlights would The Pick, featuring Kenny Wheaton be acceptable?
Or maybe Iowa Michigan State, with the interception off of the defender's back? The call was hilarious!
Just a couple suggestions :)
Harris Highlights UT vs USC Rose Bowl "He's going for the corner..."
A really emotional one is Ned jarret calling the end of the 93 Daytona 500 as his son wins
Harris Highlights Thom Brennaman's call on the Boise State vs Oklahoma hook and lateral and the Statue of Liberty play, Tiger's Woods crazy chip shot from the 2005 masters, and Auburn vs Georgia 2013 Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson.
I’ve never seen 2:45 before, but the way the guy yells “LOOK AT BILL!!” Is so encapsulating.
And I can't believe we don't have one by Kieth Jackson...."Oh Nelly" Come on! there must be a few for Kieth!
Mike Joy's call of the finish of the 1998 Daytona 500 is another one that should be worth a mention.
Twenty years of trying, twenty years of frustration! Dale Earnhardt will come to the caution flag to win the Daytona 500! Finally! The most anticipated moment in racing. If John Elway can win the Super Bowl, Dale Earnhardt said he could win the Daytona 500.
BRAVES WIN still gives me chills!
I love the call of Henry Aaron breaking the record bcs the announcer very clearly understands that it means something
9:57-. This is edited. Vin Scully allowed 50 seconds for the listening audience to aborb the ambience before resuming-- " In a season..."
1. Al Michaels - Miracle on Ice
2. See #1
I still get goose bumps & emotional hearing that call 40 yrs later. I remember watching this game on TV as a 10 y/o & I will NEVER forget it.
You can’t forget this out, Barry Bonds’ 756 homerun is not remembered because of Bonds’ homerun, it’s remembered because it’s one of the best calls in sports history by Duane Kuipers.
"HITS IT DEEP! IT IIIIIIS... OUTTA HEREEEE! 756!"
Except Barry bonds was a steroid taker

2008 #1 Texas Longhorns vs #7 Texas Tech Red Raiders such a good game all the way till the end
RandomRogertv Sure was. Texas beat Oklahoma, Oklahoma beat Tech, and Tech beat Texas. I was 11 years old. At TN the time I never knew I'd remember it for the rest of my life.
This ladies & gentlemen, is why we love sports!! Just closing your eyes & listening to the greats, Vin Scully, Jack Buck, Gus Johnson, Al Michaels, to name afew, the greatest moments, that will live forever, these amazing men knew when to keep quiet, & let the images tell the story!!
-He is moving like a tremendous machine......
-One man........Gooodbye......Hello Heisman..........
Come on. "Some people are on the pitch--they think it's all over.
(Boot) IT IS NOW. IT'S FOUR!"
Here's the 0-1. This is gonna be a tough play! BRYANT! THE CUBS! WIN THE WORLD SERIES! IT'S OVER!
Dear sports, We miss you. Signed : a bunch of people.
20 years of trying, 20 years of frustration!
You got it, you got it, YOU GOT IT!!!!!!! MIKEY!!!!!!!!!
Shame those 2 calls weren't in
If that’s Darrell Waltrip calling his baby bro winning the 500…got a pretty good idea why it’s not in more even though it deserves to be.
“I hope Dale is ok…”
