Vin Scully and Charles Osgood received Lifetime Achievement Awards Tuesday night from Fordham's WFUV.

"I was the PA announcer for the home games of the Fordham basketball team," he said in a comments relayed to me by organizers of the event, "and at halftime I would go upstairs and play the organ. I was both Bob Sheppard and Gladys Gooding."
