Used to park Gowdy's car. Nice guy.

He did a series back in '70s on PBS called "The Way It Was," which did a great job of recounting great pre-1970s sporting events. I think it might get run on ESPN Classic sometimes. Had it gotten a 10- or 20-year run, IMO it would have proven a valuable sports archive and introduced a lot of people my age and younger to events that occured before the televised sports boom.
