Description	Long-time Lakers' announcer Francis "Chick" Hearn, with wife Marge. Hearn became the team's play-by-play broadcaster when the Lakers moved from Minneapolis to L.A. in 1960; from 1965-2001, he called a record 3,338 consecutive simulcasts, his "word's eye-view" and rapid-fire cadence thrilling radio listeners and TV viewers alike. He was most proud of his Chick-isms: he created or popularized such expressions as "slam dunk" and "no harm, no foul." And when he knew the Lakers had clinched the contest, he uttered the memorable phrase: "You can put this one in the refrigerator. The door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the Jell-O is giggling." He died in 2002. Photo dated: March 21, 1981.
