Barber's broadcast style was unique and influential, and he was known for his attention to detail and his ability to make listeners feel like they were at the game. He was the first to use phrases such as "sittin' in the catbird seat," "walkin' in the tall cotton," and "going, going, gone" to describe plays on the field. Barber's innovative approach to broadcasting helped to create the modern sports announcer, and his influence is still felt today.

Throughout his career, Barber was a passionate advocate for baseball and his beloved Brooklyn Dodgers. He covered many historic moments in the sport, including Jackie Robinson's breaking of the color barrier and Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World." Barber retired from broadcasting in 1966 but remained active in the world of baseball, serving as a mentor to younger broadcasters and writing several books about the sport. He passed away on October 22, 1992, leaving behind a lasting legacy as one of the greatest sports broadcasters of all time. Read even more about Red Barber at Wikipedia
