Send Brent Musburger off by listening to his call of Edgar Martinez's iconic ALDS-winning double
For decades, Brent Musburger has been one of sports' preeminent voices, calling everything from Major League Baseball to pro and college football for CBS, ABC and ESPN. On Friday, though, he decided to hang up the microphone for good -- the Georgia-Kentucky basketball game on Jan. 31 will be his final assignment.
There are plenty of ways to honor Musburger's legendary career. You could commit to a Cars 2 marathon. You could welcome everyone into any given room by intoning, "You are looking live." Or, in order to avoid alienating friends and family, you could just watch the clip above, in which Musburger calls Edgar Martinez's iconic double to win the 1995 ALDS.
The booming voice, the building suspense, the "Mariners win it!" exclamation at the end -- everything you loved about Musburger is here. And, if you'd like to see how he handled dingers, there's also this:
Happy retirement, Brent.
