Skip Caray Dead At Age 68

Braves’ announcer Skip Caray died in his sleep during a nap early Sunday afternoon.  He was 68.

Caray had been announcing for the Braves for 33 years.  His son, Chip, also broadcasts for the Braves.  Skip had serious health issues at the end of last season, and has been battling health issues for a few years. Chip said Sunday, “I knew he wasn’t feeling good, but this was unexpected… the last thing I got to say to him was ‘I love you.’”

Skip said on April 2 “I’m 68.  If I go tonight, I’ve had a hell of a life.”

We agree.  We’ll miss your sarcastic and witty commentary, Skip.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
