Default Great Memories of the Wonderful Voice of... Ira Blue & KGO [Was :Radio's Obituary]

Above mentions Ira Blue as a Bay Area Sportscaster.

He was best known while behind the mike for the Seals (San Francisco's
minor league hockey team), alongside announcer Rory Story.

Seals got 12,000 fans a night selling out the Cow Place, while the
major league NBA Warriors drew only 8,000 at the S.F. Civic Center
(Bill King announcing).

Story's signature line: Shot on Goal!

Blue's: Eh, go gargle with razor blades...
