Tom Gamble
Feb/071
I've never met Tom Gamble…but I respect him. He is currently the host of SportsTalk on Cincinnati's powerhouse AM station, WLW. This station reaches 38 states, plus a national XM audience. Gamble said that whoever hosts SportsTalk and Extra Innings (the Reds postgame show) is "the voice of sports in Cincinnati." Since he is only 43 years old, Gamble could be that voice for the next 20 years and beyond.
However, despite the fame and the prestige that comes with this position, Tom Gamble is walking away from it next month. In a Cincinnati Enquirer article, he said, "You have the chance to be the voice of sports in Cincinnati. It was a great opportunity for me – but it's not about me. I wanted the chance to be part of a voice at my house raising my kids…"
Tom Gamble chose family over fame. Instead of reporting on home runs, he'll simply be home. And I'm willing to bet that it is a move that he'll never, ever regret.
