It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I grew up with Ned Martin / Jim Woods on the radio ( you can tell by my avatar I think ), but yep, we've been blessed with really great talent.RIP. Gil, Remy, and Tommy were all great listens grew up on them. Icons.
Woods and Martin worked together from 1974 through 1978. By his own admission, Woods toned down his style considerably from his days in Pittsburgh, believing that Red Sox fans preferred their announcers to be more restrained. Despite their popularity, both were fired by the team's flagship radio station, WITS, in the aftermath of Boston's playoff defeat at the hands of Bucky Dent and the Yankees in 1978 for not cooperating fully with the team's radio sponsors.
