Broadcasting legend Colonel Bob Sheridan did it all. Minor league baseball player, pro rodeo rider, cattle farmer, banker, military man and politician. He also become one of the greatest boxing commentators to have ever lived. This is his story. 

Inducted into seven boxing halls of fame in a career spanning six decades, the Colonel called the action for just about every Don King promoted fight-card in history, including the ‘Thrilla in Manilla’ and finally Tyson vs. Holyfield’. However, it was his work on two nights in particular – separated by over twenty years – that would in the end define his body of work.

His iconic 1974 call of the ‘Rumble in the Jungle’, the showdown between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. And the 1997 rematch between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, when the Colonel defied all medical advice by turning up at ringside – with his cardiologist in toe – just hours after suffering a life-threatening heart attack.

The Colonel undoubtedly set the temperature of every room he entered. Though it was his irrepressible sense of humour and fun that made him so beloved by sports fans around the world. That, and a voice which truly comes around only once in a generation.

About the author

Marc Caputo hadn’t thought about putting his Sports Journalism degree to use in over ten years. One conversation with the Colonel Bob Sheridan, however, changed all that in an instant. Bombarded by the sheer force of the man’s personality even at the ripe age of 78, and a gift for flattery that would rival any government diplomat on the planet, Marc soon realised that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity could not be missed. So he fastened his seatbelt, taking in a deep breath, knowing that he was about to embark on one hell of a ride.

Moisturizing, effective, pleasantly scented sunscreen
Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the go-to sunscreen our whole family has been using for years. It feels moisturizing (but not greasy) and is easy to rub in to avoid any kind of chalky, white residue. The scent is subtle and pleasant, not the strong pronounced sunscreen smell that a lot of others have. Best of all, it is effective! The bottle received is different than the one pictured on Amazon, but we’re not buying it for the bottle, so that’s okay. :) Would recommend.

I hate sunscreens, but...
Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I hate sunscreen in general--for it's texture and smell. But, being the palest family on Earth makes it a daily necessity. I was pleasantly surprised to actually like the smell of this product! It's a light fruity fragrance. It has a smooth texture like lotion and glided on my skin without being too thick or greasy and no white marks. A little goes a long way too! I could hardly believe I was putting on sunscreen and not regular body lotion. My kids had no issue with it either! They let me put this stuff on their little faces without complaint since it goes on so smoothly. Most importantly, this product did it's job and we were sunburn free. The tube is small--4 ounces--but I don't care because it's so worth having something that goes on easy and doesn't make us greasy and stinky. I bought several tubes--one for each member of the family. *If this review was helpful, please click 'yes' below. Thanks!*

It’s ok
Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Doesn’t smell like anything, especially not fruit. Seems to work well- it’s what we use on our faces. I started using this all over on my daughter because their spray version is not good.

Overall this is a very good product
Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this because every sunblock I own eventually gets in my eyes and burns the living daylights out of them. I prefer to use something that isn't laden with chemicals, is cruelty free and reef safe so this looked like it would fit the bill and indeed, it does. It is a true "no tears" formula which I very much appreciate. As with so many zinc based sunblocks there's still a slight "Kabuki mask" effect but it isn't as bad as some of the other zinc products. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's easy to spread because it doesn't have a lot of "slip", doesn't glide like the non-zinc products. You do have to work with it for awhile to get rid of the decidedly chalky consistency but once you get going it seems to be okay. I think somebody else mentioned using a moisturizer before you put it on which seems like good idea even though this is supposed to be moisturizing. Would I purchase this again? I'm pretty sure I will because the "no tears" aspect of the product is important to me. I'll probably use it with a light carrier oil on my face first, let that oil sink in and then put this on top. I'll keep you posted on how that works out. Thank you, Alba Botanica, for being cruelty free and reef safe!
