Gowdy was at the WS TV play by play mike through most of the 60's & 70's. Interesting to note that during the 80's there was a period where Vin Scully & Al Michaels alternated WS play by play, which is why most baseball historians call this period "The Dark Ages" of baseball.

Note that the 3rd most annoying sporstcaster on the planet, Bob Costas, made some appearances in the 90's. Speaking of Costas - if you've been watching NBC's Olympics coverage, how many quarts of botox do you think is in that man's forehead?
