It is sad and somewhat lonely not seeing the "Larry King Live" program on CNN. The 77-year-old suspendered one retired at the end of 2010 after 25 years and thousands of interviews on what was arguably the most well known talk show on TV; a program that enjoyed immense popularity in the U.S. and around the world.
An avid baseball fan, King over the years sat opposite figures from the world of baseball; for example, Jose Canseco talking last year about his tell-all book regarding the issue of performance enhancing substances.
I can also recall when King hosted a five-minute daily radio spot with commentary about sports. It was carried in Japan over the U.S. Armed Forces Radio station and often included criticism of something happening in baseball.
