Ray Hudson Cannot Be Contained: Ten Great Calls This Year
Many American sportscasters have brought their love of the game to their commentary. Men like Howard Cosell, Harry Caray, Jack Buck, John Madden, and a long list of others have informed and entertained us with their own unique styles. But unless you’re a big fan of international soccer, you probably don’t know Ray Hudson.
