For some reason- maybe because he was a little before my time- I thought he pitched some of his last seasons for the Braves.

I've been trying to remember how the broadcast team was paired when it was Pete/Skip and Sutton/Simpson. I remember they used to switch the radio/tv broadcasts but don't remember the specifics.
Sutton was my favorite I think.
It used to be Skip and Joe, and Pete and Don on TBS days.
One team would call the first half of the game, then they'd rotate. Then the next game the team that finished that one would start it again and vice versa.
You can see here on this Maddux highlight video on youtube
Pete and Don are starting the game off the Skip and Joe finish.

One of my favorite memories was going to a Braves game with my dad at the Ted. We walked through the gate and Skip was standing at a podium right outside his BBQ joint they had out there....no one really going up to say hello, but we did....
He was always a treat to listen to.

Skip was a frequent attendee at Panos and Pauls Restaurant. One night I was lucky enough to get a table next to his but I had some clients with me so had limited opps to speak to Skip. I asked him what he recommended on the menu. His response was the deep fried lobster. One of my most regrettable mistakes in life.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Apparently Don had cancer; didn't realize.
