A Sad Day

I was shocked and quite saddened yesterday to learn of the death of an absolute legend in longtime Atlanta Braves announcer Skip Caray. Rarely do I allow the death of a 'celebrity' or public figure to upset me but this one is truly the exception to my rule. When I heard the news I literally felt like I had lost an uncle or something. For my entire life I have lived in Atlanta and followed the Braves. Skip Caray has always been a part of my life in that way and I've always revered him for being the voice I associate with Braves baseball. Not to mention the fact that he was absolutely hilarious, his dry sense of humor and blatant honesty were truly unique and a pleasure to listen to.

God Bless you Skip Caray, you will be missed.
