From what I understand he had a big problem with alcohol, there was never an issue about his talent. I believe it cost him the job at Freehold too. I didn't realize that he was the PA announcer at Shea Stadium either and I just saw something that he was the ring announcer at MSG for WWE.
Always loved when he called the horse in last as so and so "can see em all!" He was a great announcer no matter what he called.
