Jon Miller announced it last night on Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN. I only knew Skip from his Braves games on WTBS. He seemed like a very knowledgeable announcer and a great guy. It sounds like he took after his father, Harry, whom everyone said was an amazing person. This leaves just Skip's son, Chip now to carry on the family business. -------------------------------------------------------- " I lift up mine eyes to the hills, whence cometh my help.", Psalm 121 -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #18306 • Back to Topics

He got a lot of flack from "purist" folks who didn't like his "cheerleading" method of game announcement. I, for one, loved it. He will be missed. -------------------------------------------------------- "Treat the Earth not as if it was given to you by your parents, but as if it was lent to you by your children." - Kenyan Proverb "The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those that do not have it." - George Bernard Shaw -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #18313 • Back to Topics
