Dick Vitale is a college basketball color commentator, an author of nine books, a pitchman for numerous companies, as well as a pop culture icon. He is perhaps even better known for his boisterous personality and catchphrases - such as "baby," "PTP'er" and "diaper dandy" - as he is for his in-depth knowledge of the game of college basketball. Vitale's hall-of-fame-level mark on both the profession of sports-casting and on generations of fans is unrivaled among his contemporaries.
