4721...Rick Jeanneret

If you are a hockey fan, especially one from Toronto, Niagara and parts in between, you surely know the name Rick Jeanneret.   

The ultimate homer, Mr. Jeanneret has been doing play by play for the Buffalo Sabres since the beginning of time and, paired with Harry Neale, forms the greatest local sports broadcasting duo on the planet.

The Buffalo News, among others, has reported that "The Hockey Hall of Fame announced Friday that Rick Jeanneret is this year's recipient of the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for outstanding contributions as a hockey broadcaster...[he] will be recognized at the Hockey Hall of Fame as a media honoree Nov. 12 in Toronto."

Couldn't happen to a better guy.
