Please remove Jerry Glantz from your list. He was horrible and he didn't have any clue what he was watching.

Jack Lee and Marshall Cassidy were the best.
Ed Gorman and Max Brewer get a dead heat for show.

Gil LeVine was horrible and a jack of to boot. One of the all time worst announcers ever. Horsemen and coworkers in Chicago hated the guys guts.
