sad news today, my childhood favorite and long time sportscaster for ABC Jim McKay passed away today at 87.
he was legend here in Maryland for his philanthropic work, his professionalism and a lifetime of supporting the area, especially the racing community. Saturday's Wide World of Sports was a must see in my house.
admittedly this is not a true 'diary', but please feel free to post a remembrance of this gentlemen, perhaps when you first saw him, an event you watched, etc.
the Munich Olympics of course comes instantly to my mind.
