OT: Jim McCarthy Of The Sports Huddle Has Died

[maust]

I remember 'MEX as a rock & roll station in the late 60s-early 70s, with Johnny Dark, Bud Ballou & John H. Garabedian as DJs, IIRC...they were at one end of the AM dial while 680 WRKO, with Dale Dorman as DJ, played rock at the other end...

I also remember Violet the Red Sox fan! Poor lady, she was probably too old to have lived to see 2004 & beyond...

I remember MEX's tag line from those days, "WMEX, Home of The Good Guys"

RIP Jim McCarthy, congrats on a life well lived.


I forget the original 2 watt station The Huddle was on before moving to WBZ (then the Bruins flagship station) but I do remember they were so antagonistic towards the 'Broons' they only got a cup of coffee there before heading to the old WEEI where they became an institution.

@Vatahala Andelman treats his age like it's a state secret, he was born in 1938 but I don't recall the exact date so he's either 81 or 82

Thanks for posting this. The Sports Huddle Sunday night at 7 Pm was MUST listening for me in the 70s, wondering 9if any other oldsters out here remember them?

certainly do. And Upton Bell and Lobel on the other night.

I'm just surprised Eddie Andelman is still alive. I tried searching on line for his age with no luck.
