His legacy extended far beyond the announcer's booth. He created an atmosphere at the stadium that was electric, playing old-school music that made you feel like it was Saturday morning and time to clean house. His music choices were legendary, but his life lessons were what truly resonated. I remember a time when he was so displeased with me that he pulled me aside for a serious talk about my future. As a young and hardheaded teenager, I had no idea what I wanted to do after high school. He looked at me with an intensity that made me think he might "pluck" me, but instead, he offered encouragement. He saw something in me that I didn't see in myself.
