Gowdy

One of the great voices of sports, Curt Gowdy, died Monday. Gowdy had an incredible broadcasting career, calling many World Series, Super Bowls, Olympics, and Final Fours. I remember Gowdy as the voice of baseball's "Game of the Week." Before the days of cable, the "Game of the Week" was a Missouri boy's weeky ritual. I also remember Super Bowl III; his call of the Jets' upset of the Colts. Probably he is best known for his many years as host of "The American Sportsman" on ABC.
