Curt Gowdy, legendary Red Sox announcer, called first Super Bowl, dies

Another voice from my youth is gone. Legendary sports announcer Curt Gowdy died in Florida today. For years he was the NBC voice for the Saturday's "Baseball Game of the Week," as well as the lead announcer for NBC's AFL and AFC football games.

And for many years Gowdy was the play-by-play announcer for the Boston Red Sox.

Gowdy was a Wyoming native, there is a state park there named in his honor.
