As mom said to me on the phone this week, “We’ve heard Skip’s voice more than some of our own family memories”. A fitting tribute for an extended family member.

Our family memories are surrounded by the Braves and Skip Carey. It will not be the same in the years to come not hearing his voice whether it be in the car as we are all listening to the game as we are traveling, or when at the ballpark on special occassions. We will indeed miss this great legend. He helped our family make some great memories.

Great article Daddy…some of my favorite memories with you involve background noise of Skip Carey’s voice. As I watched that clip of the ’95 World Series win, I was flooded with the same feelings that I felt when we watched it for the first time…I just love the Braves. And I will forever think that Skip Carey is one of the greatest American broadcasters of all time.

I, of course loved to hear Skip and Pete call the games both on radio and the Superstation, America’s Team. The dry wit of those two guys kept the Braves both down and up year’s interesting to pull the fans through the bad years and enlightened the good years.

Your Grandfather and Grandmother were constant Brave fans and he scored every game whether it was on the radio or on the Superstation. After he developed trembling hands, your Grandmother would write in the names from both teams, then he’d do the scoring. I used to keep him supplied with scoresheets that I’d drawn up especially for him. Incidentally, I still have some of those blank sheets. Your Grandfather was one of the Old School, Diehard, true baseball fans. He loved the game and they both loved the Braves’ broadcast crew.

We would love to hear Skip say, “Braves Win! Braves Win!”

This man is one that will always stand out to me as a Super Broadcaster, for America’s Team on the Superstation.

Good article!

Wow! What a beautiful and fitting tribute, Andy! Since my 7-year old grandson is up his neck in machine-pitch, I, too, am becoming more fond of baseball. It is a great game! And, people like Skip make it that way. I’m forwarding this link to all my baseball-loving friends.
