In 1968 the NORRA Mexican 1000 was filmed by ABC’s Wide World of Sports and narrated by Jim McKay.
Here is a piece of the video he narrated.

Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sports.
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
Whatever happened to the barrell jumping competition?

Why is this in the 'Fishing and Hunting' forum?
Anyway, like Capt. Mike, I grew up watching ABC's Wide World of Sports and Jim McKay... Vaya Con Dios Jim!bajadock - 6-10-2008 at 04:42 PM
McKay was solid and understated. He understood his role as the messenger and kept the focus on the story. He and his production staff also provided
behind-the-scene info to make the most obscure event(barrel jumping, cliff diving, demo' derby) more entertaining.
McKay was very different from today's self-promoting jock barkers.DENNIS - 6-10-2008 at 04:43 PM

Maybe Jim McKay loved to hunt and fish. Then again, maybe he hated it. Either way, he just passed away so we have to honor his deep feelings
toward hunting and fishing, whatever they are....or were.Martyman - 6-11-2008 at 08:39 AM
how 50s superman with George Reeves.
