Dave Horne Great Quotations

Tom took great pride in the fact he didn't miss a game. Like a lot of young broadcasters of the '60s and '70s, he learned that it was a 365-day a year job. You didn't take a day off just because you were ill. But, of all of us, he had the ironman streak.

He was the consummate professional; as good as anyone and better than most at broadcasting baseball. He gave a complete, vivid picture. He had a great enthusiasm and love for the game; and a great love for the people in the game.
