Best play by play call in Mets history? Vin Scully?

As Mets fans, we are proud of the great announcers we’ve had over years – from Nelson/Kiner/Murphy (and there’s supposedly a mural in the new Hall of Fame, see last night’s item) to Tim McCarver in his prime (maybe we’ll skip over the Howie/Rusty/Fran Healy FSNYyears) and to the presently awesome Howie on the radio and the great TV troika.

However…I propose to you that the greatest play by play call in Mets history was done by Vin Scully.

Here comes Knight…

Is there a better call in Mets history? Does anyone know what Bob Murphy’s call of the same play sounds like?

Here’s the TV call of the Mets winning in 1969. It’s a perfectly fine call, surely better than somebody yelling thhhhuuu meetttts  winnnn but it lacks the audio emotion of Scully’s.
