1. John Facenda — "The Voice of God" provided the narration for NFL Films for two decades. He never uttered "the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field" but did say, "A Niagara of gold and black ... poured down on Roger Staubach."
2. Harry Kalas — Known for his distinctive "Outta here!" Kalas called Phillies games from 1971 until his death earlier this week.
3. Bill Campbell — "He made it! He made it! A Dipper dunk!" In a 65-year career, Campbell has called Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point milestone in 1962 as well as Phillies, Eagles, 76ers and Big Five games.
4. Gene Hart — Play-by-play man for the Flyers for 28 years. Immortalized in his call during the waning seconds of the 1974 Stanley Cup finals: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Flyers are going to win the Stanley Cup! The Flyers win the Stanley Cup! The Flyers have won the Stanley Cup!"
5. Merrill Reese — Philadelphia native has been the radio voice of the Eagles since 1977. Known for wailing, "It's gooood!" when a critical Eagles field goal sails through the uprights.
