We did this once before with top Chicago Sports TV Personalities (http://www.chicitysports.com/2014/01/02/10-in-10-top-10-chicago-news-sports-anchors-of-all-time/) and now it's time to Chime in with the Top Sports Radio Personalities in Chicago History. Who have you got? We're looking for a wide range of ages here especially those that can comment knowledgeably on the pre Score Radio days. So post them here, or PM me your top folks and we'll try and do the write up.

Crystallas did the first one and I am hoping to do half the job he did. So let's get some votes in and start a top ten.

Is this what? We were talking about it in the Coppock thread and Crys is pretty swampped so I figured I would try. I would love for you to offer some names as you are like me dating back before the Score Days.

Johnny Morris was a star WR for the Bears in the 60s, he then became the sportscaster for WBBM while broadcasting the Bears game. Years ago NFL teams controlled the announcers who broadcasted thier games. He was at the forefront of Chicago sports for many years

Bruce Wolf not because of any brilliant sports insights, the guy is just funny. Plus he's been at it since the '70's.

Agreed. He was at his best being funny, trying to be serious is not his thing.
