Marv Albert passed ??? So Sad. I Loved when he did the broadcast - was almost as good as being there, and better in some ways...
When he took over the Ranger games, I was worried because the guys before him had been really great. After 2 games I was stoked - he was awesome!
He wasn't that old, not much older than me... ?
He is missed and his work made the games more exciting and was always on point. Definitely a sports announcing/commenting legend.
Thx
