Larry Munson became Nashville Vols radio announcer for baseball games in 1947, and his duties included Vanderbilt football and basketball games. He endeared himself to fans with his distinctive voice and unwavering spirit for the home team.
Although he passed away in 2011, he is still remembered by local fans for his gravely delivery, and often for an on-air faux pas in 1948. This episode gives Munson's family background and the path that led him to Nashville and beyond.
