WALTER CRONKITE
Game 370 | May 18, 1989 | Walter Cronkite
Once named "the most trusted man in America," Cronkite anchored the CBS Evening News from 1962-'81. He was America's source for news on the Cuban missile crisis, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War, the Apollo 11 moon landing, the Watergate scandal and the Iran Hostage Crisis. He ended his Dunkers appearance the way he closed every evening news show, by taking off his glasses, smiling and saying, "and that's the way it is." The attendance of 155 people was a Dunkers record.
