Glickman, a pioneering sports broadcaster in the New York City market, started in radio there in 1939. He was eventually to become New York's foremost sports announcer, covering basketball, wrestling, harness racing and American-style football, among other sports major or esoteric.

That affront left him in fury for the rest of his life. Show less «
