Vin Scully, Curt Gowdy to Sports Broadcasting HOF 2008

"The Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame will be inducting its 2008 class on December 16th in New York. The second set of inductions includes

• Vin Scully and Curt Gowdy from the play-by-play side,

along with executives of paramount importance to televised sports as we know them today.

• Chet Forte, Don Ohlmeyer, and Ted Nathanson are also going to be inducted.

While it is easy to wonder why those names were not among the very first group inducted last year, keep in mind that last year's charter group included Jim McKay and Howard Cosell from the on-air side. Others in that group included Harry Coyle, Ed Sabol (NFL Films), and former NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle." Dave Kohl, On the Ball Sports Waves, via Radio Daily News
