Description
As a boy growing up in upstate New York, Pete Van Wieren dreamed of becoming the play-by-play voice of his hometown heroes, the Triple A Rochester Red Wings. Instead, he found big-league broadcast heaven in Atlanta. In 1976, Van Wieren and another young broadcaster named Skip Caray, son of the legendary Harry Caray, were hired to call Atlanta Braves games. Over the next three decades, they were the voices of America's Team, as the Braves became known thanks to Ted Turner's TBS superstation.
Customer Reviews
A must for Braves fans
I'm not sure how much this will appeal to non-Braves fans, but as a long time Braves fans, this book was an absolute delight to read. It's laugh-out-loud funny, and there are times when it's hard to hold back tears.
Pete, the game's not the same without you and Skip.
