Sports fans in Sacramento know the voice of Gary Gerould. He has been the radio voice of the Sacramento Kings since 1985. On Sunday, he passed a milestone as he called the 3000th game for the team.
“I’m terribly proud of it,” Gerould told KCRA-TV. “I don’t think I’m a big ego person, but yet this has a lot of significance to me because there are only a handful of people around the league who have had an opportunity to call 3,000 games with one organization.”
At 82 years old, Gary Gerould is still keeping a full schedule. He travels with the team to road games, something that is rare for the guys that have been calling the same team’s games for 38 years.
The Kings are not what first brought him to town. Gerould has been in Sacramento since the 60s, first as a sports anchor on local television. He has also covered a variety of sports for NBC during his career, including the Olympics.
Gary Gerould and the Sacramento Kings can be heard on SacTown Sports 1140 locally.
Outside of the Kings he is most known for covering Motorsports for ABC and ESPN how could you not mention that about his career he spent over 30 years covering indycar cart NASCAR NHRA and Thursday night thunder dirt car racing for that network
