Glad you managed to find some more :) Only a few left right?

Only the ones on the initial post are left! I never thought I'd identify THIS many, but ... once I started to figure out the AI tools available, the IDs came in bunches. I am NOT going to be adding any more.

Still, the ones left are proving difficult, and the two from BRg that I found were a matter of just hunting and guessing correctly!

More gold struck with BRg, and right under my nose. Tracks 33, 34, 36, 37, and 39 all identified now.

https://youtu.be/apicOlqKhmc (VO, Web Gems)


Tracks 2, 4, 16, TEA, and WG are likely from the early to mid 2000's. (Trk 2 & 4: Eric Cunningham/Chris Lang? Rick DiFonzo? Scott Schreer?)
Tracks 41, 45, and WHWN are known to have been in use in 1994, so 41 and 45 especially might date to the late '80s.
No idea on track 68, probably early 2000's. (Billy Aerts? Rick DiFonzo?)

I've tried to research other tracks that ESPN introduced in 2006-2007, but that's only widened the net. They started including even more updates to highlights for a shorter duration, and they had to go back to the mid-'90s to glean new tracks.

I'm intending to replace the VO tracks with scrubbed tracks shortly.

(Found track count now: 149, with the same nine tracks missing.)

Added in three more unidentified tracks for searching, but the project otherwise is finished until/unless these last 12 tracks are identified. That's a total of 160 tracks found and identified over 1994-2009 from material available, with only these last 12 tracks (and maybe a few snippets of > 20 seconds in length) remaining.

Not bad for three months' work, and just in time for baseball season!
