Milo Hamilton passes away.

Hall-of-Fame broadcaster Milo Hamilton, the long-time voice of the Astros, passed away today at 88 years of age. David Barron of the Houston Chronicle documents the life and work of the man who shaped the baseball experiences of so many Houston fans — and coaches, players, and executives — during his venerable career.

I remember some good games called when he was broadcasting the Cubs prior to Harry Caray taking over. In fact, those two were bitter rivals in the booth for past issues, which I believe, lead to the departure of Hamilton from the Cubs.
