I've spent most of my life behind a microphone. As a kid, I realized the power of the spoken word, hanging out with my dad while we talked to people around the world via ham radio. Later, I put that penchant for communication into practice and ventured into radio and TV.  I've worked for a few television stations in North Carolina doing sports reporting and anchoring before transitioning to voiceover in 2015.'This Day in Sports History' evolved from a lifetime of watching, listening to, and going to ballgames, reading books, magazines, and newspaper articles about my favorite teams and sports heroes. It's not only a labor of love but a voyage of discovery, finding those forgotten tidbits or fascinating things I never knew. Mentioned in this episode:Stirling Soap ver. 2 - This DiSH - Steve WhiteThis episode is brought to by Stirling Soap Company.
