Bob Gamere


Robert "Bob" Gamere (born November 1, 1939 in Worcester, Massachusetts) is an American sportscaster.

A sports anchor on WNAC and announcer of Holy Cross football games, Gamere made his television play-by-play debut in 1970, succeeding Jerry Coleman as a broadcaster for the New York Yankees on WPIX. He was criticized for his overuse of the catch phrase "Here it comes, there it goes" to describe a pitch thrown to home plate and batted anywhere. He was replaced after one season by Bill White.

Gamere's career then moved to Boston. From 1973–1980 he hosted Candlepins for Cash on WNAC. As well as calling ECAC Hockey with John Carlson. Carlson called the first and third period with Gamere on color. During the second period, Gamere would be on play by play with Carlson on color. After his dismissal, he moved to WMRE as host of their nightly sports call-in show. In 1984, Gamere began a five-year stint as a sports anchor at WLVI-TV. He was fired in 1989 after charges of assault and sexual harassment were brought against him by a Malden man. The charges were eventually dropped, but he was not rehired by Channel 56. That year, he began hosting a weekend midnight to 5 AM sports talk show on WRCA and a nightly sports show on Channel 25. In 1990 he began a career in sports betting calling himself "The Great Gamere", hosting a NFL pay-per-view betting show, handicapping, and running a sports book. From 1994-1996, he worked for WNDS, calling UMass Lowell hockey games and horse races from Rockingham Park.
