Anastos joined WABC-TV in 1978 and would serve as an Eyewitness News anchor for 11 years. In 1989, he moved down the dial to Channel 2, WCBS-TV, where he served in the anchor's chair through the mid-1990s. After a brief hiatus, he returned as CBS2's anchor in 2001, and helped lead the network's local coverage of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

He was a terrific newsman-compassionate and fair. I loved working with him. We are all heartbroken to hear that he's passed. He taught me how to stay cool under pressure and the importance of giving back to the community.

Honestly, I don't know if I would have enough in the tank to pitch for a full season again. I'm really at peace with that decision.

Eighty years ago this April, Jackie Robinson became the first Black player since the 19th century to compete in the International League, one of baseball's top minor leagues. It was his stepping stone toward the groundbreaking moment a year later when Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers, shattering long-established racial barriers in Major League Baseball.

"Hi everybody, and a very pleasant good evening to you," began Scully, to a standing ovation. "Especially a warm welcome to you hockey fans. Here at Dodger Stadium we welcome you with open arms."
