Jim McKay dies at age 86
Jim McKay, the venerable and eloquent sportscaster thrust into the role of telling Americans about the tragedy at the 1972 Munich Olympics, has died. He was 86.
McKay died Saturday of natural causes at his farm in Monkton, Md., said son Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports.
....
McKay also was a minority owner of the Baltimore Orioles.
“The Orioles family mourns the loss of Jim McKay ... Even with all of his international success, he was committed to the city of Baltimore. The Orioles are fortunate to have had him as a valuable member of our ownership group. The entire Orioles organization extends its condolences to his family,” the team said in a statement.
Our thoughts are with the family of one of the finest sportscasters. Period.
