 Legendary New York/San Francisco Giants broadcaster  Russ Hodges (qv) appeared on the 7 October 1962 broadcast. He was  in town covering the World Series when he appeared. However, the  panel didnt blindfold themselves because he felt confident that the  panel wouldnt recognize him due to the fact that he wasnt on  television that much, but he did sign in as Mr. X because he felt  some of the panelists might have recognized his name.
