RIP Pete Van Wieren

#1 Post by silverscreenselect » Sat Aug 02, 2014 12:41 pm

Long time Atlanta Braves broadcaster who followed them from their woeful years through their glory years. He was teamed with Ernie Johnson and Skip Caray for one of the best broadcast teams around. Usually, Pete played the straight man for Skip or for Ernie's reminiscences. He started in 1975 and retired in 2008, only months after Skip Caray died. I used to really enjoy listening to those guys cover the games.

Age 69. Cancer.
