    Definitely sad news. He was such a great announcer. Just like his dad before him, Skip too will be missed.

    YOU can't remember? Try having listened to him since the late 70s when he first showed up, lolol. I listened to him for the entire 30+ years he was here.

    He has another that calls games for the Rome Braves. Later, QD.

    A sad day for baseball. I have been listening to Skip my entire life, it was a shame when Turner left him in the dust.

    I know he had previous health problems like diabetes, and kidney or liver problems from a hell of a lot of partying he use to do back in the day, but this was extremely unexpected.
