Talk:Curt Gowdy

Citation?
Whoever posted that, which specific item are you asking for a citation? Wahkeenah 11:36, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Also, curious as to why citation is needed for statement made on an NFL films episode but not for the quote about the Red Sox's future? User:Mj161 21:26, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is curious. I have that comment on an audio tape someplace, if anyone raises that issue. Wahkeenah 00:04, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Curt Gowdy
When did he retire from the busniess? Was the 80's, or the early '90's when he retired, and left the spotlight?

Fair use rationale for Image:Gowdy curt.jpg
Image:Gowdy curt.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Early Life?
While Gowdy's origins in Wyoming are alluded to, the article has no discussion at all about his upbrining and roots, instead strarting right off in the bio section with his being in New York in 1949 at the age of 30.Tom Cod (talk) 13:44, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

"citation needed"
Really? For Namath's guarantee that the Jets would win Super Bowl III? That's the American sports equivalent of saying that in American history, a citation is needed to prove that Columbus' first voyage to the New World began in 1492, that the American Civil War was fought between 1861 and 1865, that the Wright Bros. flew at Kitty Hawk in 1903, or that John F. Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas, Texas in 1963. Isn't anything "common knowledge"? Do we need a citation to a reliable source to show us that Wikipedia really is on the Internet? This isn't like saying, "Many authors feel that Joe Namath's long hair by the standards of the era was the point at which what had previously been regarded as a countercultural phenomenon was rapidly gaining acceptance in the mainstream," which would certainly have to be authenticated by references to be valid. 2600:1004:B149:2B4C:283D:FFC3:C37E:3F2D (talk) 02:50, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Leo Durocher
Past and then-future major league manager Leo Durocher was also one of Gowdy's broadcast partners in the mid-1960s. This somehow needs to be included. I would love to see documentation of one of the best broadcasting anecdotes relating to Gowdy. Gowdy mentiond to Durocher that a young relief pitcher warming up in the bullpen was only 18 years old, to which Durocher replied, "You know, Curt, I was older than that when I was born." 2600:1004:B149:2B4C:283D:FFC3:C37E:3F2D (talk) 02:56, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
