IIRC this is the guy who replaced Jim Bouton as sportscaster on WABC's
Eyewitness News in New York. He was built like The Thing from the
Fantastic Four and was very old-school, which is what I guess WABC
wanted after Bouton. Lebow would read the scores and deliver heartfelt
commentaries about sports issues that absolutely no one else cared
about, and I guess that might be what endeared him to many people.

...sounds like WABC really wanted Bill Stern to come back from the dead
and had to settle for Lebow...
