Curt Gowdy

"Doing his homework and being himself on
the air have been the secrets to Curt's success
over the years. He is one of the great
professionals of our field. "
-Jim McKay

Curt Gowdy is, to
borrow a line from the script of his broadcasting career,
the true American Sportsman. In his forty years as a sports
broadcaster, Curt has covered almost every major sporting
event, including 16 World Series, 12 Rose Bowls, 7 Olympic
Games, and 8 Super Bowls.
His awards are
just as impressive: the first Peabody award for outstanding
journalistic achievement ever given to a sports figure, four
Emmys, and induction into the media wing of the Baseball
Hall of Fame.
During his twenty
years as a broadcaster for ABC's award-winning "American
Sportsman", and his fifteen years as the team announcer for
the Boston Red Sox, Gowdy's distinctive voice,
professionalism, and personal warmth have won him fans and
friends throughout the country.
