Biography

Perry Glickman, a trailblazing sports broadcasting icon in the New York City market, embarked on his illustrious radio career in 1939. Over time, he evolved into New York's most renowned sports announcer, providing play-by-play commentary for a diverse array of sports, including basketball, wrestling, harness racing, and American-style football, as well as several other major and niche sports.

However, a lesser-known aspect of Glickman's life is his 18-year-old self, who was a member of the U.S. Olympic track and field team that was set to compete in the 1936 Games in Berlin. Unfortunately, he was abruptly withdrawn from participating in the Games, solely due to the fact that he was Jewish. This egregious act of discrimination left a lasting, bitter impression on Glickman, fueling his anger and resentment for the remainder of his life.
