W.B.:

EXCELLENT "editorial"! Wink

Indeed, "Noo Yawk" sports, and the coverage of the same, has changed drastically over the past several decades.

Once-familiar sports anchors have since come and gone, and were replaced over the years,the and were face of "Noo Yawk" sports has changed dramatically in the years since (recall Mr. Rock Rote?)

Eyewitness News' Scott Clark was a fixture for years; recall his "OUT OF THIS WORLD" segment on Fridays? Very Happy

Back in the 80s, I was always telling myself that I was going to attend at least ONE Mets game at Shea Stadium, but, I guess I was too busy railfanning, and hanging out at the NYCTM! :ro

I STILL recall the legendary PHil Rizzuto doing t "The Money Store" commercials, back in the day; and, of course, the last TRUE "Boulevardier", a certain Mr. Jeter, in his heyday, was enshrined in TV commercials, magazine ads.....you name it......seemed "The Cap'm" was EVERYWHERE, back then! Very Happy

Rock Rote was the son of Kyle Rote - who was the main sportscaster on WNBC-TV at the time of the "Ka-nicker-bockers' " 1970 NBA "cham-peen-ship." By 1973, Tim Ryan was WNBC's main sportscaster, but I don't know if Marv Albert had joined yet (he was definitely there by the time WNBC launched "NewsCenter4" in 1974). Also, I.I.N.M., in 1970, as weekend sportscaster at Channel 4, was former Yankees announcer Mel Allen.

W.B.:

Interesting trivia, regarding Roxk's dad....did not know this!

Speaking of the bygone days, regarding "Noo Yawk" sports, who can forget the sound of the hallowed organ at Shea Stadium, even if you only heard it for a moment or two during a "recap" pn the "nooze"? Wink
