A sad day in the sports world yesterday. Curt Gowdy passed away. Before yesterday, I was not familiar with Curt Gowdy or the games he had broadcast. As I read about him I think “WOW! If it was a major sporting event in the 60s or 70s this guy was on the microphone.” If you are watching a highlight show with games from that era, chances are he is making the call. The broadcasting ranks have lost one of their finest.
