Howard Kellman majored in radio and television at Brooklyn College, graduating in 1975. During those undergraduate years, Kellman was the radio and television voice of St. John’s basketball from 1973-75. Kellman celebrated his 40th year as the play-by-play announcer of the Indianapolis Indians in 2015. When not in the booth with the Indians, he also did 25 years of play-by-play at WHMB-TV, covering the high school football and basketball games of the week. While juggling the Indians and high school on-air jobs, Kellman was Sports Director at WNDE-AM in 1981 and hosted radio shows on WXLW-AM and WNDE-AM called “Great Baseball Memories.” These programs were a series of vignettes Kellman put together with his baseball background. He also hosted a TV show “Inside the Indians.” There were times when he filled in and did play-by-play for the Chicago White Sox, New York Mets and Cleveland Cavaliers. He was also a sideline reporter for Yale Football in 2012 on the YES television network.
