A few years back I met "The Scooter" outside of Yankee Stadium. Even though the handlers sent out to the parking lot wanted to get him into the ballpark quickly, he couldn't resist stopping for a moment to shake a few hands and talk a bit with fans. When they show the highlight/blooper reel from his broadcasting days, it brings back many childhood memories. He made watching a baseball game on TV fun and accessible, especially when the TV wasn't that good and the reception wasn't the best. So, thank you, sir. You will be missed. More here and here.
