Skip Caray
I have never been a Braves fan, but I mourn the loss of the team's famous broadcaster, Skip Caray, at age 68 maybe as much as any of the Atlanta faithful.
Caray was smart and funny and never took himself -- or the game -- too seriously.
Even during a rout he could be entertaining, and although, as a Braves broadcaster for most of his career, he called the games from an Atlanta point of view, he was respectful and informed about the opposition. He knew his stuff.
I never could understand why TBS cut back his appearances in recent years. He was one of the very best.

Word.
Skip was truly one of the very best, and your comments about him are spot on. He was the perfect hometeam commentator--without, as you say, denigrating the opposition. One of the best basketball commentators as well.
