Braves Announcer Skip Caray... 1939-2008

Rest In Peace, Skip.

AP- The Atlanta Braves, in a statement, announced that Caray died in his sleep at his Atlanta home on August 3, 2008. He had been suffering from failing health for nearly a year prior, but returned to work for the 2008 season, calling a game on radio as recently as 3 days before his death.

Skip was the son of legendary Harry Caray.... The Caray family has a long and continuing history in sports broadcasting. His two sons are also sports broadcasters.

Never heard him call a game, but if he was anything like his dad then he was something special.

RIP Skip Caray

Oops, turns out I have heard him calling games. No mistaking that voice, I've heard it plenty. Guess I just never paid attention to who it was.

Wow....suprising to see. I never realized he was that old. Being a huge cubs fan, I'm naturaly a big Harry Carey fan. Very sad. Skip and Harry were great ambassadors of baseball.
