AFJF Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Sad day indeed. His voice is one of the things I remember so vividly about my first Yankee game as an 11 year old in 1987 vs. the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbn007 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I remember hearing him in 1966, and asking my father who that was. Even then, as an 8 year old, I felt that that voice was "something different" than others. Now, decades later, having been at many sporting events in parks all around the USA, I can say with full conviction - there was no one else like him". RIP.
