...Carol Marin
...Mark Suppelsa
...Linda Mclennan
...Floyd Kalber
...Sharon Wright
...Dan Roan
...Johnny Morris
...Mark Giangreco
...Tim Weigel
...Brant Miller
...Jim Tillman
...Harry Volkman
...Steve Deshler
...Jerry Taft
...John Coleman
...Tom Skilling
...Bozo Circus!
...Roy Leonard
...Phil Donahue
...Jack Brickhouse/Ernie Banks' 500 HR
...Harry Caray calling the 1984 NL Champion Chicago Cubs
...John Rooney (now with the STL Cardinals) calling a "White Sox Winner"
...Michael Jordan
...the Blackhawks
