Yep. Lots of memories - good and bad - were voiced by those three.

RIP, gentlemen. Bet they are somewhere in a broadcast booth together right now.

Man...lot's of memories from that group. I grew up with those guys. Watched every Braves game possible. Don't know which one I liked best. They each were awesome in their own way. I did like Van Weiren's voice the best though. Sad to see the end of an era like that. Means I'm getting old too.

Has anyone read Van Weiren's book "Of Mikes and Men: A Lifetime of Braves Baseball"? Sounds like it would be a great book. I'm going to get it if I can find it somewhere.
