Keith Jackson, Dead at 89

[hjmick]

I am only a moderate fan of college football, but I always liked the way Jackson called a game. He had a certain panache...

I especially liked this Miller Lite commercial from 1995:

Jackson called Reggie's 3 homer game in the '77 WS.......on my birthday. Never forget it...........on the third bomb hit by Jackson, "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii........................."

Damn I hate to hear that. He was one of the best.

There was many times when calling a game his bias showed....So I tended to turn down his voice and turn up the music....

Thanks, I was having a senior moment trying to recall that call of his.
