As a kid growing up in Sunbury, Ohio, where he graduated from Big Walnut High School, Bob Kennedy would listen to his radio, creating introductions to songs he'd hear as they'd play. He would talk over the TV, doing play-by-play for various sporting events, more than once incurring the wrath of his father who would open the basement door and exclaim “Shut the hell up! We're trying to watch TV!”
Bob Kennedy is a name with which you might not be familiar, but if you've ever stepped foot into the hallowed grounds of Ohio Stadium in the last decade-plus, you are familiar with Bob Kennedy's voice.
