Thoroughly agree. And I hope it will be more than a mention. Don was born one month and 3 days before me. RIP Dandy Don. By the way, anyone know who first called him Dandy Don?
He got the nickname because he was so affable and friendly to everyone, whether it was the towel guy in the locker room or the owner of the Dallas squad. Some say Cosell gave him the nickname, while others say he’d had it long before he began working with him. Few dispute that in his later years, Meredith felt he’d outgrown the nickname.
