    Wow, amazing how much comfort it gives me to listen to these two call a game. Even the commercials and the promos put a smile on my face. Not to mention, Marty's use of "we" and "us."
    "In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"

    Really neat to hear Joe again. It's been a while.

    And more in his prime than I ever heard him. I didn't start listening until the mid 1980s.

    And Marty... It's actually staggering to hear the difference.

    I'm going to have to look for more of these. Kind of unexpected how interesting they are to me.

    Late 70s were peak game calling for them, no Elvis, no gardening, no inside jokes. Just baseball

    That Marty....the guy from the 70's and 80's and even into the 90's was a really, really good announcer.
