SI Offers Rankings, Photos of Sportscasters

As part of a regular online feature with photos from Sports Illustrated, the magazine's online site this week unveiled a list of the top 20 sportscasters of all time.

The list spans generations and sports, with current talents such as Bob Costas (at right) making the list as well as legends such as Mel Allen.

Some sportscasters of note are missing from the list and some other obvious selections might be a little higher or lower than expected.

Specifically, Howard Cosell -- moreso because of what he meant as a cultural icon and for his impact on the structure of the TV sports business -- seems a little low at No. 9, but it's hard to justify bumping any of those above him.

Take a look and feel free to share your thoughts about the list.
