That is very sad. I grew up in South Carolina, 3 hours from Atlanta, and the Braves were our local team. I have listened to hundreds of games called by Skip and Pete, and even Ernie Johnson Sr.

That is truly a loss.

Default Baseball is a bit worse off today...

Skip is one of the good guys in baseball.

God speed, Skip.

Dunno. If he died in his sleep as reported, my guess would be from an embolism.

Harry made it all the way to 84 and Skip only made it to 68. Maybe their is something to be said for thinning out your blood with alcohol.
