So Long, Skip

August 4, 2008 by TheUmpire

Longtime Atlanta Braves announcer Skip Caray died in his sleep in his Atlanta home yesterday.  The son of Cubs announcer Harry Caray, Skip joined the Braves’ booth in 1976.  Skip’s son, Chip, is currently a broadcaster for the Braves’ TBS games.

Skip Caray is perhaps best known for his “Braves win!  Braves win!” call of Sid Bream’s winning slide in Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS.
