Summary

Rob Fredette shares a personal tribute to Eddie Andelman, the pioneering host of Boston's beloved Sunday-night "Sports Huddle," remembering his influence on sports talk radio and his place in the city's sports history. He recalls working with Eddie at WHDH, memorable moments like picking up Kevin McHale at Logan and competing in a hot dog safari, and how Eddie's warmth, humor, and talent made the show must-listen radio for decades. Eddie Andelman was Sports Talk Radio before it came into our culture.
