Jim has been on the radio since 1994 at least in California. I won both his Big Call of The Day and Big Fax of The Day in the 90's. Got a free shirt once and then got to shoot a puck on him at a Kings game the other time. Even though he had zero respect for Horseracing, after being introduced to the sport he instantly became a fan and horse owner. He has had pretty good success in the sport and often talks about his horses on his shows from what I'm told.
