A voice that I grew up with and came to associate with some of the most legendary sports events in history passed today. Curt Gowdy. He passed at the age of 86, and although he battled leukimia, lived a good long life.
It didn't matter what game it was, NFL or MLB, he gave a kind of magic to the game that let you know what you were watching was special. Subconciously I came to associate his voice with a special moment.
Gowdy is especially remembered as the "Voice of The Boston Red Sox" and so will be very much missed.
Gowdy covered eight Super Bowls, 13 World Series, 16 Baseball All-Star Games, and Seven Olympics Games, as well as a number of NCAA Final Four games, and countless NFL and MLB games of note. He is a legendary broadcaster that NBC Sports President Dick Ebersol said once carried NBC Sports.
