Clem McCarthy Dies. Iconic Sport Announcer Remembered
Clem McCarthy, famed horse race announcer and voice of boxing’s golden era, died Monday at 79 from Parkinson's disease. He broadcast every Kentucky Derby from 1928 to 1953, called Seabiscuit versus War Admiral, and earned renown for his gravel voice and dramatic calls. He left behind 26 relatives, a struggling later life funded by a friends’ Clem McCarthy Fund, and a career that defined sports broadcasting.
