In 1934, at the age of 18, Jack Brickhouse entered the broadcasting profession, working the airwaves for radio station WMBD in his hometown of Peoria, Illinois. His remarkable broadcast career spanned six decades.

Moving to WGN radio in Chicago in 1940, Brickhouse began recreating Cubs and White Sox games. He was on the scene in television's infancy, contributing valuable techniques to the industry.


Over the years he entertained Chicago fans with the broadcast of over 5,000 games, never criticizing and always taking a positive approach. He retired from baseball play-by-play following the 1981 season.
