Jack Quinlan

Jack Quinlan

Jack Quinlan, born January 23, 1927, Peoria, Illinois, was an American sportscaster. He was best known for covering the Chicago Cubs for WGN radio, sidekicked by Lou Boudreau, and was in fact a lifelong Cubs fan. He was killed in an auto accident during spring training of 1965 in Arizona. He was also an avid golfer, and a charity golf tournament in his name has been held in the Chicago area ever since.

This is how he called the final out of Don Cardwell's no-hitter on May 15, 1960, transcribed from a phonograph record of Cubs history issued in 1971. The batter for the opposing St. Louis Cardinals is Joe Cunningham. The Cubs left fielder is Walt "Moose" Moryn. (See also Jack Brickhouse for TV-vs.-radio style comparison)

Quinlan broadcast the 1960 World Series for NBC radio.
