Amazing to think of a 67 year career broadcasting Dodger games.

These 67 years are longer than I have been alive.

Think about it — If any broadcaster starting this year had a 67 year career, he would be broadcasting until the year 2082.

And we could all think about all the changes in baseball and society since he started in 1950. The Dodgers were in Brooklyn. Major league baseball had only 16 teams, with St. Louis being the city farthest west in major league baseball. TV as we know it was in its infancy. Harry Truman was president. Etc. etc.
