I have frequently waxed poetic about Dodger broadcaster Vin Scully's eloquence and sheer awesomeness. His voice is smooth and his broadcasts are replete with metaphors, history and allusions (from baseball, literature, and so on), and lots of other great things. Baseball, he is an artist behind the mike.
The Dodgers are routing the Chicago Cubs today (as I write this, the score is 11-2). Vin described the crowd in Chicago simply as "Sullen if not mutinous."
I have listened to Vin announce games for 28 years now. IMNSHO, he's the best announcer ever! (By the way, in looking up his wikipedia article, I see that its neutrality is disputed. Given how awesome he is, that doesn't surprise me at all.)
