Friday night was the firat time I have had the opportunity to listen to the Braves New announcer Chip Carey for any length of time. I was pleasantly surprised to find that he was very knowlegable and easy to listen to; infact he sorta reminded he of a hyper Bob Costas. Several people commented on how excited he gets at the least little thing that goes the Braves way.
I was wondering if you guys/girls that are Chicago fans miss him as an announcer? Sadly his leaving Chicago takes away the last tangible memory of his Grandfather and legendary announcer, Harry Carey. Chip's dad, Skip Carey, has been the only voice of the Braves that I can remember since I was a kid and I can't imagine not hearing his voice during the games. I can only feel some empathy for Cubs fans when Harey passed...but its great to see the family business doing so well.
