Bill Etherton

Before the proliferation of round-the-clock sports coverage, the local broadcaster was the eyes, ears, and mouth for most sports fans. The voices that came out of the televisions and radios became old friends to those that lived and died by their teams' performances. For fans of Notre Dame in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, Bill Etherton was a staple that eloquently articulated the passion of Irish fans. Here you will be granted access beyond the broadcast booth for a joyful trip down memory lane.

Frank Graham, Jr

"As the younger Frank tells more of the story, we watch Lou Gehrig take Babe Ruth's place as the Yankee's star and then trace his glorious career to its tragic conclusion. We see firsthand the legendary Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson and boxing's brief but golden age on television in the 1950s." "Aided by sixteen photographs and preserving the most masterful of his father's writing while adding to it the best of his own, Frank Graham, Jr., has given the sports fan A Farewell to Heroes, perhaps the ultimate sports reminiscence of a time when the romance of sport gave life a golden hue, when heroes still roamed the earth."--Jacket.
