Iconic calls come from iconic games.
Art Hains says those are the easiest to call.
The voice of the Missouri State Bears for 35 years is set for induction into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. The ceremony is at 4 p.m. Sunday at University Plaza Convention Center.
When he called Missouri State’s only postseason football victory, on a last-second field goal against Maine in 1989, it was pure reaction. The same as a decade later when Matt Cepicky hit a game-tying homer on the Bears’ last strike in a baseball regional at Arkansas.
Hains says it’s the lopsided affairs that challenge a sportscaster.
