thought Durkin was terrific. I never had a fascination with the West Coast guys for no apparent reason...I'm surprised Fairmount has not chimed in with a list of those who started at his home track, including the very excellent Dave Johnson...

STL is simply blessed with great announcers, not sure why. KMOX I guess, right Bob Costas? Jack Buck? Harry Caray? A zillion others...

BTW - Durkin's 10 greatest are still up on the web from DRF I think...in any case I saved it and still watch occasionally. Cigar - being my all time fav - is classic call winning, of course, The Classic.
