John Charles Quinlan
(January 23, 1927 – March 19, 1965) was an American sportscaster. He was best known for doing radio
play-by-play
for the
Chicago Cubs
, first on
WIND
(1955-56) and then on
WGN-
(1957–64). His broadcast partners were
Lou Boudreau
(1957–April 1960, 1961–64) and
Charlie Grimm
April–October 1960).
Quinlan was killed in an auto accident after leaving a golf outing during
spring training
of
1965
. He was an avid golfer, and a charity golf tournament in his name has been held in the
Chicago
area ever since.
Quinlan's classic call of the final out of
Don Cardwell
's no-hitter on May 15, 1960, transcribed from a phonograph record of Cubs history issued in 1971. The batter for the opposing
St. Louis Cardinals
is
Joe Cunningham
. The Cubs left fielder is
Walt "Moose" Moryn
. (See also
Jack Brickhouse
for TV-vs.-radio style comparison)
Ball 3, strike 1 on Cunningham... Here's the pitch... Strike 2! (
Wrigley Field
crowd roars) ... Cunningham's arguing now... he's back here barkin' at
Tony Venzon
, the plate umpire... he's
really
sore... he is really peeved at that strike two, that was called... One more pitch could end it... You know what kind of a pitch we're hopin' for: The dark one! Blow it past him Don! ... Here comes the biggest pitch of this ballgame... Lined into left field... (crowd gasps) ... Here's Moryn comin' ... (crowd roars) ... HE CAUGHT IT! He caught it! A no-hitter! A no-hitter for Cardwell! Moryn made a great game-saving catch! It's a no-hitter for Cardwell... his teammates are mobbin' him... Cardwell's teammates are poundin' him to death!
Quinlan was named Illinois Sportscaster of the Year by the
National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association
four straight years from 1961 to 1964. Nationally, he broadcast the first
1960 All-Star Game
and the
1960 World Series

NBC Radio
. He also called
Big Ten
football on WGN and broadcast the
1963 NFL Championship Game
locally as a substitute for regular
Bears
radio announcer Brickhouse, who was calling the game on
NBC
television.
Two audio books "Jack Quinlan/Forgotten Greatness" Parts I and II were produced by broadcaster Ron Barber and include every known remaining clip of Quinlan's play-by-play and are part of Barber's continuing effort to gain Quinlan consideration for election to the Baseball Broadcasters' Hall of Fame.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
