In what seems to just add insult to injury for the Atlanta Braves, longtime broadcaster Skip Caray passes away in his home in Atlanta on Sunday.
The Braves who are just having a pitiful season this year with a plague of injuries, slumps, and everything else that could go wrong with a franchise are trying to recover from the news of a passing of a long time friend in Skip Caray. The Braves as of Tuesday are ten games behind the first place Phillies.
According to a press release released by the Braves, "This season marked the 33rd year Caray had been calling names for the Atlanta Braves, a majority of which were for TBS, which gave Caray a national audience and fan base. Caray is son of Harry Carry, the former Chicago Cubs Hall - of - Fame play-by-play announcer.
Caray is survived by another Braves announcer Chip Caray who, let's be honest, is not quite as good as his father or grandfather. I can't quite put my finger on what is different from Chip but I just don't think any one can ever live to up to the likes of "Holy Cow!" His calls are just a little less enthusiastic.
