...bearlike, bluff, Arch McDonald attracted a huge following during four years as "Ambassador of Sports" at Washington's WJSV. Rabid fan John Nance Garner called him "the World's Greatest Baseball Announcer."

They draw dramaphobes out of retirement, lure suburbanites to the city. They foster cultists as rabid as Wagnerians-cultists who, unlike Wagnerians, squeal, snort, gurgle, hum and nudge their neighbors...
