My favorite stadium announcer was Roy Steele of the Coliseum.

Steele began announcing for the A’s in 1968, their first year in Oakland. He kept that post for 38 seasons, through six World Series and an All-Star Game, finally stepping aside from full-time duty after 2005. During that span of time he missed only five games total, and carried a streak of 1,093 consecutive games worked from 1990-2004, according to this 2010 profile by Monte Poole in the East Bay Times. He continued in a part-time capacity through 2008.
