His call of Dodgers games was always great. His voice, his cadence was the same no matter what. Whether it was Saturday afternoon at Dodger Stadium or Shea against the Mets.
Just think of all the greats , Dodger or otherwise, that he called. Robinson, Koufax, Drysdale, Valenzuela*, Hershiser, Gibson's homerun....the list is too long.
It was a great life for him though. Think about it, for most of his life he got to hang out with ball players and call games....67 years.

not even thinking about hanging out with them, he got PAID to watch some of the greatest players to ever lace them up.

He was friends with my grandfather in New York. Used to babysit my mom. When we went to a Dodgers game in LA when I was a kid she sent a note up to the press box to let him know she was there. The usher didn’t deliver it to him but looking back I didn’t realize how cool that would have been to have met the man. True icon.
I don’t know what was a more of a remembered call…
“Behind the bag” on Buckners error in the 86 Mets/Sox series or
“In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened!” Gibsons homer off Eckersly
