Legacy
King has been a finalist for the Ford Frick Award for broadcasters from the Baseball Hall of Fame on multiple occasions.
King is one of only two people ever awarded both a World Series ring and a Super Bowl ring. The other was Bob Sheppard, the long-time stadium voice of the New York Football Giants and New York Yankees, and another man famously secretive about his age.
As noted in the San Francisco Chronicle, "King was believed to be 78. The lack of knowledge of his exact age was one of the many quirks that made King one of the great characters in Bay Area sports."
