The Hummelsheim Kid

Tom Ryther had a career in news and sports journalism that spanned 36 years, meeting some amazing people and putting him at the center of big events. Starting in radio, he moved into major market television in St. Louis, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Cleveland, as well as one of the major networks. Now retired, he tells his story from his humble, working-class beginnings on Hummelsheim Avenue in St. Louis to big-time television and beyond, in a to-the-point, no holds barred style. The Hummelsheim Kid is a media history, a sports history and an American history, with revealing behind-the-scenes insights into the broadcast business that are not sugar-coated. Tom calls the shots as he sees them with his own unique perspective. The book includes Forewords by Barry ZeVan the Weatherman, Ron Yary of the Minnesota Vikings, and other friends and colleagues of Tom Ryther.
