As one who has called almost every sport, I still consider myself a student of the profession and am always seeking to learn from the great ones. When I was a kid, growing up in NYC, I was the ONLY kid on the block to be a fan of the NY Islanders, which did not sit well with my NY Rangers buddies. It was there I heard the magnificent call of Jiggs McDonald and learned to love the sport. It's why I could not pass up a chance to catch up with Jiggs a few years ago and talk hockey. A young boys dream come true.
