Biography/History

Sam Balter was born October 15, 1909 in Detroit, Michigan. He was selected as a UCLA all-American basketball player (1929) and was chosen for first U.S. Olympic Basketball Team, which won the gold medal in 1936. He was the only Jewish American gold medalist at Games in Berlin. In 1938, he broadcast the first U.S. coast-to-coast radio sports commentary on the Mutual Network. During World War II, he worked as a broadcaster for the Los Angeles-based KFWB and KFI. He broadcast play-by-play for the Cincinnati Reds baseball team (1942), was known as the voice of the UCLA Bruins football and basketball radiocasts (1945-1952), and was an announcer for baseball Pacific Coast League Hollywood Stars and Los Angeles Angels, and the Los Angeles Stars of the American Basketball Association.
From 1946 to 1962 he was sports director for KLAC and roughly during the same time he broadcast a weekly One for the Book radio feature that covered a wide range of sports. From 1955-1962, Balter published a daily One for the Book newspaper column for the Los Angeles Herald-Express, and in 1955 published the book, One for the Book of Sports with co-author Cy Rice. He was the recipient of numerous professional honors, among them Variety's Top Sportscaster in the Country (1953). He was also elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame (1970), the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame (1994), the Southern California Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and UCLA Athlete Hall of Fame.
