Tremendous honor for @Bill_ESPN just before a date all the ESPN pioneers love, Sept. 7 (this year the 46th anniversary).  It has been a thrill for me this year working with the now Hall of Famer on a doc on the amazing story of the launch of ESPN.

45 years on the air and ESPN is still going strong! If you're curious, that’s 540 months, 16,437 days or 394,488 hours of sports programming. And that's only on one channel . . . amazon.com/Sports-Junkies…

What a great celebration we had yesterday in Bristol! Wow - it is great to see the enthusiasm and smiles across the plaza. Thanks for including me, Josh @jksports.

ESPN turns 44 years old today. Grateful to ESPN Founder @Bill_ESPN for all of this & his brilliant stroke to hire @MichaelJSoltys as his first intern. Mike, in a rare moment of weakness (eyes closed?), hired me a decade later. Happy anniversary @espn & thank you, Mike & Bill!

@TheFrizz87 Scott... I'm tad older than you, but wonder if know about WW2 - #4 Grey Clarke? The War years produced some unusual daily lineups. Back to 2023 - NYY Domingo Herman 99 pitch no hitter. DYK Having a first name starting with *D* helps..threw 6 of the 24 no hitters since 1880.

Who is your personal favorite Chicago White Sox third baseman? Robin Ventura is first to mind for me, but my favorite is Kevin Youkilis. Also liked John Cusack as Buck Weaver.

March Madness 1980-ESPN's First! Aired ALL games not on "regular" TV! Subject of NCAA talks leading to original contract. DYK Lamar (10) beat Weber St (7) - 87-86 & then took down #2 Oregon St 81-77? ESPN's blanket coverage blew open the staid - limited coverage of prior years!
