I became acquainted with Jimmy while listening to him and Harry Carey do White Sox games in the late 70's and early 80's. Those were probably the most entertaining sports broadcasts that I have ever heard. Where else does the color man rib the play-by-play man about being drunk on the air and where else does the play-by-play man jokingly reply by asking the color man if he has been taking his medications? It was must listen/ must watch. Seriously, he and Harry made a great contribution to the game.
