Braves Announcer Skip Caray Dies
4th August, 2008 - 8:39 am
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Longtime Braves' announcer Skip Caray died in his home on Sunday at the young age of 68, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Harry "Skip" Caray Jr. moved to Atlanta in the 1960s partly to escape the professional shadow of his father, iconic broadcaster Harry Caray.

"I hope and pray he's not hurting anymore," son Chip Caray said. "I hope and pray he's sitting on a barstool somewhere with his dad arguing about baseball, and his mom and his brother who he misses dearly. I hope he's at peace. Because I know he wasn't the last couple years. And he battled and fought and didn't do a whole lot of complaining. He knew he wrote some checks that were getting cashed, and he didn't complain about it once." [READ]
