Bob Wolff, a sports broadcaster for eight decades who interviewed both Babe Ruth and Derek Jeter, died Sunday in South Nyack, N.Y., at age 96, his family told
the New York Times.
He was a broadcaster at New York City’s Madison Square Garden for more than 50 years, calling Rangers and Knicks games including the latter team’s two NBA titles.
And in a storied career that began in radio and spanned the cable TV era, he was on hand to describe some of the most seminal moments in 20th century sports history, including Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series and the classic 1958 NFL championship game between the New York Giants and the Baltimore Colts.
