My bias is North American, but my own favorite is baseball as well.
And Jon Miller, when he was with the O's, was clearly the top echelon.
I'd look forward to rain delays just to hear him ad-lib for an
extended period. I believe part of the mojo that baseball has on the
radio is the leisurely pace of the game, allowing the commentators
time to paint word pictures. Basketball and Hockey, being games of
flow, do not lend themselves to this pacing. I don't think (American)
football is as good as baseball on the radio, because the action tends
to have a variety of simultaneously-occurring components that simply
can't be adequately described over the radio.
When I was a teenager I'd put my 6-transistor Jade radio under my
pillow and tune it to WJR / 760 in Detroit to hear Ernie Harwell call
Tigers games. WJR made it across Lake Erie to Western New York pretty
well, both by day and night.
