Description
Kirby excelled at her first break and then moved to a bigger market in sports-rich Baltimore. Male colleagues said she didn't belong, but fans loved her, teams respected her, and networks noticed her. In 1977, ABC Sports hired Andrea Kirby as its first full-time female announcer. Hosting the College Football Scoreboard and traveling the world for Wide World of Sports was her hard-fought dream come true.
Heartbreakingly, the dream ended. Kirby's survival became another great adventure. Then, a chance interview with a famous basketball player changed everything, inspiring an idea so original that it appeared as a question in the board game Trivial Pursuit.
A rare, entertaining, and uplifting story, The Athlete Whisperer will inspire any reader with an improbable dream.
