**Who are your favorite Yankees announcers?
**Who are your favorite Yankees announcers?
You can include both TV and radio in picking your favorite. Also, if you wish, you can include your LEAST favorite!
My favorites:
1) David Cone--down to earth, articulate, exceedingly knowledgeable--an ex-SUPER ballplayer.
2) Al Leiter---just think he's a cool guy and I love his experience as a pitcher.
LEAST favorite: Paul O'Neill. Was obviously a great Yankees player in his day, but as an announcer, nope do NOT like. For one thing, notice how many times he'll start a sentence with "Ya know it's funny, but.........." Sorry Paul, it's NOT funny! Also, can never forgive his sophomoric behavior in kicking things in the dugout. Just very "Non-Yankee!"

I'm pretty sure this thread has been done several dozen times before, in slightly different forms.

Singleton, O'Neill, Cone, and Leiter.
Not a fan of Kay, but I enjoy the banter between him and O'Neill.

Paulie's my favorite... Cone second.
I can't stand Singleton and Kay definitely gets on my nerves after a while.

Re: **Who are your favorite Yankees announcers?
Kay, Singleton, Cone, Flash, O'neill, Leiter
The real reason why the Yankees keep winning is cause the other team can't stop staring at the damn pinstripes

Re: **Who are your favorite Yankees announcers?
I like Cone, Leiter, and Singleton best. Bob Lorenz is enjoyable the few times a year he's in the booth.
I despise Michael Kay. The absolute worst in MLB
Honorable mention to Meredith, I think anybody could do her job.

[QUOTE=hardrain;8287005]You beat me to it. I was going to write the same thing. That was my childhood. Although I would have loved to hear Red Barber and/or Mel Allen live.[/QUOTE
Jerry Coleman was good too. Was not really a fan of Red Barber. And I only remember listening to Mel a few times when I was young. Not sure Mel and Red were on the air at the same time. I think when one was on TV the other was on the radio side.]

Re: **Who are your favorite Yankees announcers?
Yes, Joe Garagiola replaced Mel Allen and announced Yankees games from 1965-1967. He was replaced by Frank Messer in 1968. When Rizzuto and Garagiola worked together it was something to hear them compare stories. The Yankees turned a triple play in 1967 and Garagiola told Phil he was once involved in a triple play where no one hit the ball! Phil was speechless but Joe explained how it happened. Ironically about 20 years later the Yankees were involved in a triple play where no one hit the ball.
