The last episode I saw a couple of weeks ago had new narrators for the body of the show, but there was Summerall's barely audible voice closing it out. He must have really loved doing it. It's sad to see the old-school voices passing away, they were the best. Vin Scully is a national treasure.
Well said Hank!!
