They've been doing this for every team. But it is a good, well informed article.

Every team except the Cardinals. They hate them.

Except the Cardinals' guys, I mean.

Does anyone know of a similar list that ranks the old timers no longer here (deceased) or retired? I'd love to see where guys like Mell Allen, Lon Simmons and Bill King rank compared to Scully, Garagiola, etc. I'm sure I left out some others you all know well, but I'm on the other coast.

What would it have meant to have lost Davis? He contributed a sort of paradoxical thought experiment in 2015 by effectively vanishing for 12 straight games in August, hitting .163/.265/.256 as the team went 1-11 and fell out of the playoff race. Without his bat, the Orioles were terrible; yet even with his bat, the Orioles might be without his bat.

I love this whole article.
