Terrific appreciation of Brookshier by NYP's Phil Mushnik...
Brookshier was good listen, good guy By Phil Mushnick http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/more_...AxfJoM6MbZMepI While it's neither in our DNA nor our souls to hurt for them, it has been a rough stretch for our brothers in Philadelphia. In April, they lost Harry Kalas, beloved voice of the Phillies. The next day, Les Keiter, radio character -- "ring-tailed howitzer!" -- who called Sixers and Big Five hoops, died. Last Friday, it was Tom Brookshier, 78. The Eagles' No. 40 -- retired -- became a voice of all things sports in Philly. And then he was shared with all beyond the Schuylkill, on CBS. Brookshier was too historical and hysterical for his obit to be lifted from the AP and squeezed into a broadcast by a producer (likely named Dustin, Justin, Josh or Zach) who figures that the world and ESPN began the same day.
