Baseball broadcaster Skip Caray has died
http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=441791

ATLANTA (AP) -- Skip Caray, a voice of the Atlanta Braves for 33 years and part of a family line of baseball broadcasters that included Hall of Famer Harry Caray, died in his sleep at home on Sunday, the team said. He was 68.

The cause of death was not immediately known, but various health problems had limited Caray to calling only Braves home games this season.

"We've all lost a very good friend," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "For me, he was a good buddy -- at the park and away from the park. We always had a lot of great laughs. He will be very sorely missed."

Caray was drawn into broadcasting by his father, Harry, a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

1. Rest in Peace, Skip
I sincerely hope that there is a place where you are calling games with your pa right now.
