I grew up to Jim, in Brooklyn on ABC:
He was "THE Voice Of ABC Sports";
He was there at the Munich Tragedy in 1972
He wasn't just THERE, he was the voice of the unfolding tragedy. And he brought me up and made me love sports...thanks Mike!!!!!!
His famous utterance on worldwide TV when he learned that the '72 Israeli team had been killed...
"THEY'RE ALL GONE." I will never forget.
He was great on Wide World of sports and for the Olympics when they actually mattered.
It is nice to hear Dick Stockton on Fox today, much like when he was on TV38 broadcasting the Sox many years ago.
I know, FW...and it's 6-2..Timmy was great. Why was? Because he's thrown 105 plus...Hansen? ENJOY!! I am!!!!!
I remember Stockton, but before him, there was Ned (OH MERCY!) and Ken Coleman. And Curt...but I'm getting before my time...I just want to win this game...GREAT JOB TIMMY. Into the top 'o the 8th...
PLEASE SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
