RIP, gentlemen. Bet they are somewhere in a broadcast booth together right now. Title: Re: Skip and Pete and Ernie... Post by: volsboy on August 09, 2014, 10:10:28 EDT 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.
Title: Re: Skip and Pete and Ernie... Post by: volsboy on August 09, 2014, 10:17:54 EDT 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.
