Phogge Mine was Annette F. And Sophia Loren. Lol
What a finish. I read that the announcer who yelled out got fired by NBC for upstaging Bud Palmer, who seemed to have no clue what was going on.
We’re just kids, Bobbk. Phogge’s heartthrob was Lily Langtry.
Yup. Got fired. Had to threaten legal action to get paid.

BTW, and BobbK would remember better than me, but didn't Dick Bank announce the USA/USSR dual track meets, one of which was at Stanford in 1962? Of the 19 USA vs. USSR meets, the Stanford meet was most notable in that 150,000 people attended over two days, at the time the largest crowds ever for a non-Olympic competition.
Obligatory trivia: two world records were set during the 1962 Stanford USA v. USSR track meet, one by an American, one by a Russian. Can you name them?
