    John Saunders, the sports anchor whose baritone voice was a fixture on ESPN programming for 30 years, has died, the network announced Wednesday. He was 61.

    The cause of death was not immediately known.


    ESPN president John Skipper saluted Saunders for his "extraordinary talent" and "friendly, informative style."

    "He was one of the most significant and influential members of the ESPN family, as a colleague and mentor, and he will be sorely missed," Skipper said. "Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this extremely difficult time."
