4:24 Him with Bill Madlock. Too bad he wasn't around when the Cubs finally won the World Series. RIP

They need to interview Steve Stone next

His best call ever may have been Willie Smith's opening day walk off HR in 1969

A true legend, a real class act. I had to watch baseball as a kid and his enthusiasm is so memorable and heartwarming....back! Back! Back

He called 54 series. Willie Mays great catch. 4 5 more mlb national calls. Did NFL championships. 3 presidential inauguration. Democrat conventions. Not bad for a kid from Peoria Illinois.
