2) New York Mets—Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, and Keith Hernandez

When Keith Hernandez isn't sleeping this is one of the best booths in the business (although, to be fair, Darling wasn't there that day to rise him). With Cohen at the helm, the Gary-Ron-Keith troika strikes a delightful balance. Darling chimes in on the pitching front, pointing out Johan's "tall" delivery, Hernandez delves into the mind of a hitter who's just been buzzed ("OK, you son of a gun, here's a line drive in your forehead"), and together they riff on the mysteries of baseball, the magic of breaking out of a hitting slump, and then, briefly, just about any other topic on earth—wine country, spackling, the Beastie Boys, whatever. Which is definitely something the guys need to keep in check during duller games. Perhaps most importantly, though, they seem to enjoy what they do, to like one another, and to love the game of baseball.
