WTAP’s Jim Wharton shares 40 years of sports memories.

WTAP TV Sports Director/Anchor served up 40 years of sports memories to Rotary club members on August 15. Wharton said that covering WVU bowl games have been bitter-sweet affairs since often games come with national prestige at prime sports venues. The only thing is, when he has traveled to cover them instead of an assistant, WVU has lost six times. Despite that, Wharton said he has 40 years of good memories of covering Mid Ohio Valley sports, and looks forward to many more.

Following the meeting, when asked if the Chicago Cubs will finally win a World Series this year, Wharton said that “this is their year.”  He expressed his hope to see the Cubs and the Indians in the 2016 World Series.
