Legendary sports broadcaster Verne Lundquist recalls some of his favorite moments in sports and some of his favorite calls from Jack Nicklaus's final victory at the 1986 Masters and Tonya Harding's attack on Nancy Kerrigan at the 1994 Olympics to Christian Laettner's buzzer beater in the NCAA tournament and the Auburn-Alabama shocker of 2013. Verne shares why one radio station owner wanted him to change his name to "Jerry Lund," why he hated his short lived stint as a local news reporter in San Antonio, and how Tex Schram lured him to Dallas to become the voice of the Cowboys.  He recalls how Scott Hamilton gave him a crash course in skating during his first Winter Olympics, why he took it as a demotion when CBS first moved him from covering the NFL to the South Eastern Conference, and he gets a little sentimental when he talks about the huge sendoff that he got during his final season announcing SEC football.

After more than 50 years in broadcasting,PLAY BY PLAY: Calling the Wildest Games in Sports - From SEC Football to College Basketball, The Masters, and More (William Morrow; Hardcover; October 9, 2018; $ 28.99) marks the first time "Uncle Verne" turns the spotlight on himself-recalling some of the most important, unbelievable, and even outlandish moments he's seen happen on the field, in the clubhouse, or otherwise over the last five decades. Written with Verne's familiar humor and flair, PLAY BY PLAY begins with the early days of his career as a sports anchor in Austin in 1963. He soon moved to Dallas, where he continued as an anchor and play-by-play announcer for the Cowboys in the 1970s, when the team dominated the game of football. Over the next fifty years, he covered innumerable sporting events for a variety of networks, most notably CBS Sports, which he first joined in 1982. He moved to Turner Sports in 1995 for three years, while continuing to cover figure skating for CBS. He returned to the network in 1998, and two years later he began his tenure as the beloved play-by-play announcer for SEC on CBS. Over the course of his time with CBS, he covered more than twenty different sports for the network.

The Kick Six Iron Bowl of 2013, where the Auburn Tigers delivered a shocking blow to the heavily favored University of Alabama Verne also remembers the friendships he's made along the way, and shares with readers personal, surprising anecdotes about his life both inside and outside the booth, including: . His lifelong fascination with radio, and the call that brought him into a radio booth for the first time (surprise: it had nothing to do with sports) . The small, but important, role he played as a KTBC-AM (Austin) employee on November 22, 1963 - the day JFK Jr. was assassinated . Why he initially viewed the SEC play-by-play gig as a demotion, and what made him realize it was actually the most significant assignment of his career . The conversations he had with Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach about his recurring concussions and how they might impact him down the line . The legendary broadcaster who convinced Verne to host Bowling for Dollars - and why . Why he disagreed with President Carter's decision to pull the U.S. out of the 1980 Moscow Olympics . His unlikely love affair with figure skating, and his longtime friendship with Scott Hamilton .

Doesn't get much better than that!" -SCOTT HAMILTON, 1984 Olympics Men's Figure Skating Gold Medalist​
