"Yes! Yes! Yes! The Atlanta Braves have given you a championship! Listen to this crowd!" .... said Skip Caray, when the team won the 1995 World Series. With his nasally voice, wry and witty delivery, and tongue often in cheek, Caray became an enduring sound of summer in the South. He described more than 4,000 Braves games -- from the last-place finishes of the 1970s and '80s through the 14 consecutive division titles of the 1990s and beyond. He died on Aug. 3.
