@MunnyBall@ArizonaBaseball@TomDudd Indeed. Covered the '86 team for the Daily Wildcat and Dan made being in the press box for a few hours truly enjoyable. And he never changed, going from local sports to NBC. True professional
So saddened to hear of Dan Hicks' passing. He was one of a kind. First met Dan as a U of AZ junior covering the baseball team. He was the PA announcer and i was the beat reporter for the Daily Wildcat. Loved how he announced the players, each with a distinct style.
Years later, I met up with Dan at MGWAA outing at Quaker Ridge and he certainly remembered me. It always great to see him at the U.S. Open, USWO and other USGA events. He loved his job at NBC. A true professional in every sense of the word. He will be dearly missed.
