When Fran Tarkington was with the Giants, I was playing a lot of golf with Jack Whitaker, who was the CBS announcer for the Giants games. So we decided to use him as voiceover in this spot. When we showed it to the client, the Marketing Director said, "I hate Jack Whitaker!" The disagreement got pretty heavy and finally Tom and I got up and walked out of the meeting. And, of course, we almost lost the business (on an account I'd invented in the first place!). But we prevailed and it ran with Jack as V.O. And the best part is that I got to catch this pass in the end zone in Yankee Stadium!
