--Vin Scully, Dodgers TV (Prime Ticket, Channel 9) and radio (790-AM): This will mark Season 60, and quite possibly the last, for the 81-year-old Baseball Hall of Famer, named No. 1 on a list issued recently of the top 50 sportscasters of all-time by the American Sportscasters Association. As if he needed any more validation for his parking. Whatya say we get a Vin Scully Bobblehead promotion going this season?

--Bob Miller, Kings TV (FSN West): The rink is half full for the Hockey Hall of Fame gamer, who turned 70 last October during his 36 th season with the team. He actually continues to hold out hope that he'll someday call a Stanley Cup championship for Southern California. Without it being in a lousy Mike Myers movie. Whatya say we get a Bob Miller Bobblehead promotion going next season?

--Jaime Jarrin, Dodgers Spanish-language radio (930-AM): Is he the real voice of the Dodgers? Si, if you speak Spanish. On the job since 1959. Enshrined in baseball's Hall in '98. Seriously, if you're trying to learn the language, listen to how he does it, so elegant. It washes over you like Plácido Domingo opera. Whatya say we get a Jaime Jarrin Bobblehead promotion going next season?

TOP 10

1. Rory Markas, Angels radio (710-AM) and TV (FSN West; Channel 13) and USC basketball radio (710-AM): A remarkable comeback from a scare last November when he needed time to recover from surgery that knocked him out of action for a stretch on Trojans hoops. Keeping him around as any team's broadcaster really is a no-brainer. Last year: No. 3.

2: Spero Dedes, Lakers radio (570-AM): A Spero-tolerance policy is necessary only if you're trying to synchronize the delayed radio call with the live TV picture. Last year: No. 4.

3. Nick Nickson, Kings radio (1150-AM): The latest addition to the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Hall of Fame brought his family with him to the recent ceremony. When Nick's wife, Jennifer, went to the front desk at Lakeside Golf Club to get her lunch ticket, the female employee said: "You must be so proud of your father." It's more a reflection of Jennifer's youthful looks than Nick looking more like Bobby DeNiro. Last year: No. 6.

4. Jim Watson, USC basketball, high school football, Galaxy TV (FSN West and Prime Ticket): And pay attention when he's doing the network coverage of the Pac-10 gymnastics championships from Stanford on March 21. His niece, Whitney Watson, is on the Oregon State team. Last year: No. 5.

5. Bill Macdonald, college basketball and football TV (FSN West and Prime Ticket): We'd stand with him as well on the Avengers' games, but they've rolled up the tent on that circus for at least one season. Which only gives him more time to multi-task. Last year: No. 7.

6. Brian Siemen, Clippers radio (710-AM): The fact that anyone knows he's doing these games, on radio, is a sterling testament to his performance. Last year: No. 8.

7. Charley Steiner, Dodgers radio (790-AM): As the team leads him to freedom on the radio, it may work against his strengths. He's not so much the detail guy, more of the pleasant conversationalist who moves along the pictures you can already see. Last year: Honorable mention.

8. Jeff Laskey, Lancaster JetHawks radio: Considering all those hours he grew up listening to Scully on the Dodgers, he's found his own voice and would make any team pleased to have him pull up a chair. Last year: Unranked.

9. (tie) Tom Kelly, Randy Rosenbloom and Chris McGee: How does local high school coverage lose with Kelly (on Vootage.com), Rosenbloom (KLCS, LA 36) and McGee (Prime Ticket) on the scene? They all show genuine enthusiasm and professionalism. Last year: Tied for No. 10.

10. David Caldwell, CSUN basketball and baseball; Al Epstein, Pepperdine sports: Caldwell can be considered the new voice of CSUN, landing a gig on games broadcast over gomatadors.com. Epstein, the long-time voice of Pepperdine, did his 700 th consecutive men's hoops game last December on pepperdinesports.com. Last year: Honorable mention.

Honorable mention: Paul Sunderland, FSN basketball and volleyball; Steve Physioc, Angels TV; Isaac Lowenkron and Andrew Siciliano, Avengers radio; Chris Roberts, UCLA football and basketball radio; Steve Carroll and John Ahlers, Ducks radio and TV.

BOTTOM FIVE

1. Pete Arbogast, USC football radio (710-AM): There's a line from Stewie in "Family Guy" that comes to mind each Saturday in the fall: "I come bearing a gift. I'll give you a hint: It's in my diaper, and it's not a toaster." A toast to the fact Arbo has graduated to commercial spots for a mattress company. His pitch: He, like the rest of us when he's on the air, loves to take a long nap. Last year: No. 1, bottom 5.

2. Terry Smith, Angels radio (710-AM): In a new-media world of iTunes, Facebook, Hula, YouTube, Veoh, RSS feeds, Google, Twitter, Wikipedia and high-def webcasts, here's the Western Union call of a horsehide game, almost as smooth as Dutch Reagan. Last year: No. 4, bottom 5.

3. Joel Meyers, Lakers TV (FSN West, Channel 9): As the dude said during his Academy Awards acceptance speech: "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto." Last year: No. 2, bottom 5

4. Michael Eaves, college football (Prime Ticket): Hearing him on the annual Angel City Classic at the Coliseum last fall was great if you had trouble jumpstarting your bulimia. Last year: Unranked.

5. Ralph Lawler, Clippers TV (Prime Ticket, Channel 5) and radio (710-AM): We insist: cease and desist on the "bingo" lingo, even if it does connect with the centenarians in search of a fix on a lonely Tuesday night. Last year: No. 3, bottom 5.
