So Long Skip
By ALongLook in The Write Stuff
August 4, 2008

Off topic this morning, but I can't let the death of baseball announcer Skip Caray pass without comment.

As a long-time Atlanta Braves fan (I grew up in Georgia), I listened to Skip broadcast many, many games. His knowledge of the game, combined with his sarcastic wit made listening a pleasure. If I could capture 1/10 of that in my writing, I'll be successful.

The son of Hall-of-Fame broadcaster Harry Caray, and the father of current broadcaster Chip Caray, Skip will forever remain one of my favorites.

So long Skip. Your scorecard is complete.
