Bob Wolff
Legendary broadcaster -- via ESPN. He has the longest career in sports broadcasting history (78 years, dating back to 1939), and is the only broadcaster to have called play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports championships -- football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. He called Don Larsen's perfect game on Oct. 8, 1956, and "The Greatest Game Ever Played" between the Giants and the Colts on Dec. 28, 1958.
