JACK BRICKHOUSE was born January 24,
1916 in Peoria, IL. He began his career at WMBD Peoria in 1934. At age 18 he
was the youngest broadcaster in America. He broke into the business
doing news, man on the street interviews (a feature he suggested to
management, and one in which he often did the "voice work" for both
halves of the interviews), and read the Sunday comics to children.
In 1940 he got his first big break, working Cubs games with Bob Elston at WGN. Brickhouse was one of the hardest working broadcasters in the business. For many years, he worked both Cubs and White Sox games. He also did Bulls broadcasts in the early years, and for 24 seasons broadcast Bears games with Irv Kupcinet. Brickhouse was the first person America saw and heard on WGN TV. He was selected to broadcast the first televised World Series. In all, Brickhouse did national broadcasts for four World Series (including the famous call of Willie Mays' catch in deep center), five MLB All Star Games, and was the nation's number one ringside announcer for professional wrestling in the 1950s. He also authored over 30 annual baseball record books. Brickhouse was a broadcaster's broadcaster. In addition to working a wide variety of sports for fifty years, he was also respected nationally for his coverage of cultural events, politics, and business. He reported national political conventions and presidential inaugurations. He also hosted "Jack Brickhouse Reports" which featured insightful interview format programs with politicians, entertainers, athletes, celebrities and others of note. Baseball Hall of Fame member Jack Brickhouse died in 1998.
