I did the 1972 Sapporo Games, and I was also the Reds announcer and was folded into the NBC coverage for the 1972 World Series. I also did the 1979 World Series for ABC.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was World Series champion in individual and synchro for the first time which was awesome.
My role at NBC was president of 'NBC News.' I had that role for eight years.
Going through college a Red Sox fan and knowing the history behind everything that was going on back in the '80s and finally getting a chance to win a World Series for this great city and bringing it back after 86 years, it was truly special, and it's one of the highlights that I'll remember for a long time.
Everyone I knew was a Red Sox fan. Living up there in 1967 - the Impossible Dream season - that moment was incredibly compelling. I just naturally gravitated to the team. Nineteen seventy-five was arguably the greatest World Series of all time.
And then 45 years later, as I finished my career in the great city of Cleveland, that was another great way to end my career, going to the World Series.
I did radio back in the era when we did radio drama.
The first thing I did for TV was a pilot for CBS.
My first year in baseball, there were only one or two reporters. My second year, I got to the Triple-A playoffs, there were four or five. When I came up in 1984, I never saw so many people.
My first job after my retirement from baseball was as a narrator for the Eastman Philharmonica.
I was a star in Italy, Austrailia, Germany and Japan before the American stations ever paid attention at all.
