Christopher Eugene Schenkel 
      American sports broadcaster (b. Aug. 21, 1923, Bippus, Ind.—d. Sept. 11, 2005, Fort Wayne, Ind.), provided play-by-play commentary for some of the most memorable sporting events of television's first 50 years. Though his smooth baritone voice was most commonly associated with ABC's broadcast of professional bowling events, Schenkel covered a wide range of sports, including golf, gymnastics, boxing, basketball, and football. He was also on hand for gymnast Nadia Comaneci's perfect 10 at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.
