Those two broadcasting legends have left tremendous shoes to fill. But there are still some great voices left in sports.

1. VIN SCULLY

Vin Scully became the face of one of baseball's most-renowned franchises without ever putting on the blue and white. That's why he tops our list.

Scully, 81, was born in the Bronx and got his journalism degree from Fordham University. He began working with the Dodgers in 1950 when they were still in Brooklyn and traveled to Los Angeles with the team in 1958. This season is his 60th with the team.

At the age of 25, Scully called the 1953 World Series between the Dodgers and Yankees, and became the youngest person to call a Fall Classic, a record that stands. Two years later, he was in the booth when Brooklyn won its first World Series against the Yankees.

But Scully's stamp on the sport extends beyond the Dodgers. Scully was the play-by-play man when Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run to break Babe Ruth's record. And he made the most famous call in the history of the Mets during Game 6 of the 1986 World Series against the Red Sox.

"Little roller up along first ... behind the bag! It gets through Buckner! Here comes Knight and the Mets win it!" he said.

Scully remained silent for nearly three minutes, letting the crowd tell the story from Shea Stadium.

"If one picture is worth a thousand words, you have seen about a million words, but more than that, you have seen an absolutely bizarre finish to Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. The Mets are not only alive, they are well, and they will play the Red Sox in Game 7 tomorrow!"

2. MARV ALBERT

From Knicks ball boy to being widely called "the voice of basketball," Marv Albert has survived scandals and disagreements with MSG network brass to remain at the top of the NBA's broadcasting tier. Brooklynborn Albert got his first big break when New York sportscaster Marty Glickman took him under his wing. Albert, who attended Syracuse before graduating from NYU, became the voice of the Knicks in 1967 and continued in that role for 34 of the next 37 years before he had a fallout with the Garden higher-ups for being too critical of the team. During his run with the Knicks, Albert, 67, also started working for NBC as their lead NBA play-by-play man. Albert called the NBA Finals for years, including the painful loss the Knicks suffered against the Rockets in 1994.

Albert was fired by NBC in 1997 after a sex scandal; he also resigned from MSG. He was given a suspended sentence, and it appeared his role as the voice of the NBA was over. The fact NBC re-hired Albert two years later proved his greatness behind the microphone.

Albert returned to the Knicks the same year - first on the radio then back on television.

After leaving the Knicks for good in 2004, Albert became the play-by-play man for the Nets on the YES Network, where he still works. After NBC lost the rights to broadcast the NBA to ABC, Albert became the top play-byplay man for TNT, which provides national coverage of the NBA's season and playoffs. Albert still works on the radio for Westwood One, where he calls "Monday Night Football" games with Boomer Esiason.

3. JIM NANTZ

From Jack to Tiger and every golfer between , Jim Nantz's voice is the most authoritative golf has known, which might've been enough to get on the list. Then you consider the rest of his resume, which includes covering Super Bowls and Final Fours. Nantz, 49, has become an elegant voice for some of sports' biggest events.

Nantz was born in North Carolina, but he grew up in Colts Neck Township, N.J. After graduating from the University of Houston, he eventually became the playbyplay man for the NBA's Jazz and Brigham Young University's college Football team. But bigger things were in store for Nantz, who moved on to CBS in 1985. He eventually became the network's top play-byplay man.

Nantz is one of two men (Brent Musburger being the other) to call a Super Bowl, an NCAA championship game and conduct an interview with the Masters winner from Butler Cabin. And it's in Augusta where Nantz has made a lasting impression.

In the '90s, Nantz scolded Tiger Woods after he sat out a tournament at the famed Pebble Beach golf course.

"I don't want to hear about bumpy greens, I don't want to hear about six-hour rounds. This is the showpiece for the PGA Tour. Get out here and play," he said.

4. DICK ENBERG

At 74, Dick Enberg is still going strong at CBS as a play-by-play man for the NCAA tournament, the NFL, and U.S. Open tennis. He also does tennis play-byplay for ESPN. Enberg will receive the Vin Scully Lifetime Achievement Award on May 6.

When you look at his resume the best words to describe it are "Oh my" - the broadcaster's famous catchphrase. After graduating from Central Michigan, Enberg started his career doing play-by-play for UCLA basketball, which included the 1968 championship game against Houston, dubbed the "Game of the Century."

He segued to NBC, where he called eight Super Bowls, the last in 1998. Enberg has been the lead host for two Summer Olympics, was the Angels play-by-play man, and was part of national baseball telecasts for CBS and NBC.

Enberg concentrates mainly on tennis now, but is still an integral part of CBS' NFL and NCAA tournament coverage. "Enberg's Essay" touchingly commemorates the end to the 65-team tournament. He provides similar commentary at the end of major tennis tournaments.

5. MIKE BREEN

Mike Breen has had the pressure of replacing two legends: Marv Albert and Al Michaels. Breen moved from radio to TV to step in for Albert with the Knicks. When Michaels left ABC for NBC, the network picked Breen to take over for Michaels on the NBA.

Breen, 47, works with Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson, and they have become the most entertaining broadcast team in any sport. Breen's most colorful call comes when he emphatically shouts "Bang" as a player hits a clutch shot, an opportunity he has not had often while doing play-byplay for the woeful Knicks the past five seasons.

But as the lead man for ABC, he anchors their playoff coverage, which includes the NBA Finals. Breen, who was raised in Yonkers and graduated from Fordham, is now the voice of the league's biggest games.

He also has been part of some of the NBA's most embarrassing moments, like when Pacers forward Ron Artest climbed into the crowd when his team was in Detroit and started the most infamous fight the NBA has seen.

"Now Artest has jumped over the scorers' table, and is trying to get down to the bench! " Breen said. "Artest is in the stands! Oh, this is awful! Fans are getting involved. Stephen Jackson's in the stands! Rasheed Wallace going into the stands! Security is trying to somehow restore order! Fans and players are getting involved, and the players are trying to help each other out!!"

6. MIKE "DOC" EMRICK

The longtime voice of the Devils and the lead play-by-play man for the NHL on Versus and NBC, Doc Emrick's knowledge of hockey shines through in every game. That's why Emrick, 62 , won the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award by the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Emrick became the voice of the Devils in 1983, a year after they moved to the New Jersey from Colorado. From the start, he has been a must-listen for Devils fans and a must-have for networks that cove r ed the NHL nationally.

Emrick, who partners on D e v i l s ' b r o a d casts with C h i c o R e s c h , was doing p l ay- byplay when the Devils won their first Stanley Cup in 1995. A year earlier he was there for one of the more defeating moments in the history of the franchise, when Mark Messier guaranteed a Rangers win in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, then followed through with a hat trick in a Blueshirts win.

7. RON DARLING

Ron Darling is quickly becoming the best baseball analyst the sport has to offer. Part of the Mets' SNY team with Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez, he was known to baseball fans long before he started in the booth. He pitched nine years for the Mets and was a member of their 1986 World Series team. Darling, 48, retired as a player in 1995 and entered broadcasting in the 2000 season as an analyst for the Oakland Athletics, the team with whom he ended his career. After working the inaugural season for the Nationals in 2004, Darling came back to New York for SNY, which was in its first season as the new home for the Amazins.

When TBS obtained the rights to cover the MLB playoffs in 2007, they wisely hired Darling. He continues to work with TBS as an analyst for their regular-season and playoffs broadcasts.

8. AL MICHAELS

Al Michaels will continue to be the voice of the NFL with Cris Collinsworth now at his side for NBC's Sunday night telecasts.

Despite his work as an NFL p l ay - by - p l ay man, Michaels' most famous call came during the 1980 Winter Olympics, when the U.S. ice hockey team pulled one of the greatest upsets in sports history: They knocked off the heavily favored Russians.

As time was running out with the Americans up 4-3, Michaels exclaimed, "Do you believe in miracles? YES!" The game became known as the "Miracle on Ice."

Michaels, 64, who also called MLB games for ABC, started on "Monday Night Football" for the network in 1986 and continuing in that role for 20 years. At the end of his tenure, Michaels worked with John Madden. When ESPN acquired the rights to "MNF," Madden left for NBC's "Sunday Night Football." Michaels was later "traded" to NBC.

Born in Brooklyn, Michaels has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Sports Personality (Play-by-Play) five times. And he provided one of the sweetest calls Giants fans have ever heard during Super Bowl XXV. The Giants were leading the Buffalo Bills 20-19 when Bills kicker Scott Norwood missed the fieldgoal attempt that decided the game.

"No good! Wide right!" Michaels said simply as Giants fans celebrated everywhere.

9. GUS JOHNSON

If your team is involved in a close game, you want Gus Johnson doing the play-by-play.

Johnson 42, came to prominence thanks to his work with CBS during the NCAA tournament.

He has drawn some of the tournament's most exciting games through the years. That includes a stunning upset by Gonzaga over Florida in the 1999 tournament.

"Shannon from the corner, NO!" Johnson said. "Gonzaga - the slipper still fits!"

New York fans may know Johnson for his work with the Knicks, where he has been backup television play-by-play announcer, a role he does full-time on the radio.

Another tremendous call by Johnson came when the Knicks beat the Heat in the first round of the 1999 playoffs. In the deciding Game 5, Allan Houston hit a runner with 0.7 seconds left for the win. Johnson had the call on the radio.

"Charlie Ward inbounding on the left sideline, Houston pops out up top, he's in the lane.

Running jumper, off the front rim and in!"

It's hard to convey Johnson's charisma in print, so check out YouTube, where has become an Internet celebrity. You'll understand.

10. TROY AIKMAN

Some Giants fans consider Troy Aikman a Cowboys' homer, but in our eyes, Aikman does a good job of calling games down the middle for Fox, where he is the top analyst. And that's why he rounds out our list.

Aikman started in broadcasting in 2001 with Fox, and when John Madden left to work on "Monday Night Football" the following season, the network made Aikman, 42, its main man. He received an Emmy nomination for his work in in 2004 and has called two Super Bowls with Joe Buck, his booth mate for the past seven seasons. We now consider Aikman to be the best NFL analyst in the business - although he is in competition with NBC's Cris Collinsworth and CBS' Phil Simms.

And those two are 10a and 10b on our list.
