I heard about it this afternoon on Sirius Radio. They meantioned all of the World Series he did, Super Bowls, All-Star Games, Olympics, NCAA b-Ball Championships and on and on...but honestly, what i remember him most for was the Saturday or Sunday afternoons about this time of year - freezing outside - and I'd be inside by the fireplace watching Curt Gowdy hosting some celebrity hunting ram or bear or fly fishing a Rocky mountain stream or hooking into a sailfish in some tropical waters.
He was one of the sporting voices of my, and many of our, youth.
