From AudioFile:

CBS broadcasting legend Jim Nantz recounts how his father influenced his career. Nantz's reading is both energetic and precise as he interweaves sports plays with insider moments in an exciting "you-are-there" style. Nantz's tone is often bittersweet in this moving tribute to his father, who is now devastated by Alzheimer's disease. Even though he's unable to share in his son's successes, Nantz believes his father will always be by his side. Nantz's true-to-life narration of the history-making broadcasting stretch in which he called the Super Bowl, the Final Four, and the Masters in a 63-day stretch in 2007 captures his style and love of sports.
