Skip Caray

Harry Christopher "Skip" Caray, Jr. (born August 12, 1939 at St. Louis, Missouri) is a TV and radio broadcaster for the Atlanta Braves of the National League.

Caray grew up in baseball as the son of Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Caray. He studied television and radio at the University of Missouri where he lettered in football as an underclassman. He began his career in St. Louis calling Saint Louis University and St. Louis Hawks basketball. Caray moved with the Hawks to Atlanta. In 1976, he was added to the broadcast team for the Braves, a position he has held since.

In 2000, NBC hired Caray to do play-by-play with Joe Morgan on the Division Series between the New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics. Caray was filling in for Bob Costas, who sat out the Division Series after anchoring NBC's prime time coverage of the Summer Olympic Games from Sydney.

Caray is the father of Atlanta Braves broadcaster Chip Caray.

Skip Caray was introduced into the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame in 2003 alongside long time Braves broadcaster Pete Van Weiren. Caray, 66, recently befriended talk radio personality Wryn Vance. Caray claims Vance, a morning-show host and football announcer, rejuventated him and his broadcasting abilities. Caray plans to broadcast Atlanta Braves games for Turner Sports through the 2008 season unless Vance tells him to quit sooner.
