KYW Sports Reporter Jack O’Rourke Dies At 80
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – We have another bit of sad news from our KYW Newsradio family. Sportscaster Jack O’Rourke died suddenly early Saturday morning after covering the Phillies game. He was 80.
You’ll know Jack O’Rourke for his sports reporting and well you should.
“But in the 11th, it was the Cardinals who took control.”
Jack was a fixture of our Phillies coverage from Spring Training through Red Octobers and brought to the job decades of perspective. Although he cut his broadcasting teeth in news, he was a KYW Newsradio anchor and even City Hall Bureau Chief, his sports reporting took him all over the world covering Olympics and other events. He won a Peabody while at NBC, no mean feat.
