Greatest all time announcer calls

There's a ton.
Matteau

Stephene Matteau
This, and "Do you believe in miracles? Yes! This impossible dream comes true!" are the two best ever, IMO.
 
Some of my favs:

“Rock the baby to sleep and slam dunk”-Chick Hearn on a DR J fast break slam in 1983

“Ohhhhh, a spectacular move by Michael Jordan”- Marv in the 91 finals

“It’s mighty high, mighty far, and goodnight”- Bob Costas on a Bernie Williams walk off homer in the 96 ALCS

“It is caught by Dyson. Can he get in. No he cannot”- Al Michaels Rams/Titans 2000 SB.
 
A couple before my time but are always replayed…
“Havlicek stole the ball!” -Johnny Most
“Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!” -Howard Cosell

One from my younger years…
“Send it in Jerome!” -Bill Raftery

‘97 Masters blowout win by Tiger…
“There it is…a win for the ages.” -Jim Nantz

But probably my favorite.. one because it is MJ/Bulls and two it was the NBA on NBC…
“Oh! A spectacular move by Michael Jordan!” -Marv Albert
 
Here are a few all timers from play by play guys in movies…

Just a bit outside! -Harry Doyle

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em. -Pepper Brooks

Ladies and gentlemen, I have been to the Great Wall of China, I have seen the Pyramids of Egypt, I've even witnessed a grown man satisfy a camel. But never in all my years as a sportscaster have I witnessed something as improbable, as impossible, as what we've witnessed here today! -Cotton McKnight

Looks like it's gonna be a two-on-one, a ménage à trois of pain. -Cotton
Usually you pay double for that kind of action, Cotton. -Pepper

Bob, in all my years of calling games I don’t think I’ve been this excited. -Al Michaels
You're excited? Feel these nipples! -Bob Costas
 
Vin Scully's complete silence after Kirk Gibson came off the bench to hit the home run.

Silence doesn't work great on radio - Jack Buck's "I don't believe what I just saw" was a great radio call of the same home run.

"The band is out on the field" belongs on the list also.
