BROADCASTER WOLFF DIES

Bob Wolff, the only sportscaster to call play-by-play of championships in all four major North American professional team sports, has died at 96. Rick Wolff said his father died peacefully Saturday night at his Nyack, N.Y., home. Wolff broadcast the NFL’s championship game, World Series, NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Final. He interviewed Babe

Ruth, was the voice of the Washington Senators and for decades did play-by-play for the New York Knicks and New York Rangers. “Bob Wolff ’s iconic, Hall-of-Fame broadcasting career was matched by his class and character,” the Yankees said in a team statement. Wolff was cited by the Guinness

Book of World Records for the longest consecutive run as a broadcaster at 78 years, dating to 1939 on WDNC Radio when he was a student at Duke University. This year, he did sports commentary on News 12 Long Island and hosted the Con Edison Scholastic Sports Award program on WHUD Radio in Westchester.
