43 years ago today(6/13/77), a young reporter began his career at CBS2 in LA. Can’t think of a better way to put a ribbon on it all. So today...I am announcing my retirement. 72 years old, 43 years at CBS and 48 in LA. It’s time. No regrets. Just grateful. Signing off June 30th.

Remember in 2017 when the Astros’ Yuli Gurriel made a racist gesture against the Dodgers’ Yu Darvish and MLB gave him a 5-game suspension for that. A lighter penalty than what Joe Kelly got.
