The great ones are all gone now.. no one paints a picture like the old guys did. I think a lot of that came from so many of them working year round calling baseball games. Really painting with their words.

I disagree. A&M actually upgraded our radio voice recently. Dave South had an iconic voice, but he was horrible at actually painting a picture ("He is a touchdown!" became a meme on Aggie boards, to give you an idea
). Andrew Monaco actually used to do the San Antonio Spurs' TV pregame and postgame here in SA. I was pissed when they announced he was leaving the Spurs' TV team (he and Sean Elliott were the main reasons to tune in for me), but then overjoyed when he revealed he was replacing South as the voice of Aggie football. He's fantastic on the air

I think it also came from them being so vital to their fan base. Now, people can watch every game on TV.

Seems like most of the great announcers have done baseball at some point. Learning to paint the picture is so important for radio. Vin Scully is probably the best example.
