Bill King
Wilbur "Bill" King (October 6, 1927 – October 18, 2005) was an American sports announcer. In 2016, the National Baseball Hall of Fame named King recipient of the 2017 Ford C. Frick Award, the highest honor for American baseball broadcasters.
King was the radio voice of the Oakland Athletics for more than 20 seasons as well as the longtime radio play-by-play announcer for the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders and the San Francisco/Golden State Warriors. Earlier in his career, he had been a member of the San Francisco Giants original broadcasting team (together with Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons) when the Giants moved west from New York in 1958, and had called football and basketball games for the University of California.
King was widely recognized by his distinctive handlebar moustache and Van Dyke beard, as well as his broadcasting catchphrase, "Holy Toledo!".
