  • ! worked with Jimmy & Harry at WMAQ in Chicago. Once Harry said Jimmy your crazy and he responded "NO Harry I got papers proving I'm sane your the one who's nuts." I will never forget that!

  • @soulierinvestments The Wikipedia article on Smathers is a good read, especially about his race against Claude Pepper for the Sentate.

  • crepehanger47 -- Thanks for the upload, but, sheez, do you have to provide a spoiler! Half the fun is watching it play out without knowing how it ends.

  • @TheRedsox1981 WHat was your grandfather like? He's seems like a great person!

  • I remember watching and admiring him as a kid when he played for the Cleveland Indians. I was too young to know anything about his difficulties--we just thought he was a great player. I remember him having a terrific arm.

  • Glad he was able to keep both oars in the water for the game show.

  • with the same aplomb he brought to his conversations with the mild mannered like jack benny or the intenseley talented like a bette davis, john daly breezed through this talk with the clearly unbalanced piersall. i was more scared than he was.

  • Looks like the grandaughter is not coming back to answer anymore questions. I checked Dead or Alive and he is very much alive. I met him again in 2003 at a card show at the Gibraltar Trade Center in Taylor , Mi. Just as charming as ever.

  • @TheRedsox1981 he is your grandfather? How is he doing?

  • @TheRedsox1981 is your grandad still living?
