He had a bit on self-help books that was something like: "If you're reading a book written by someone else to get instructions on how to improve your life that's not 'self-help' that's 'help!'

Skip Caray 1939-2008






The Baseball community lost a good one yesterday as Braves announcer, and son of the legendary Harry Caray, Skip Caray passed away Sunday afternoon....

ATLANTA -- The Braves family lost one of its most beloved members on Sunday, when Skip Caray passed away at his Atlanta-area home.

Caray, who would have celebrated his 69th birthday on Aug. 12, went to take a nap Sunday afternoon and didn't awaken. He is survived by his wife, Paula, two sons, Chip and Josh, two daughters, Shayelyn and Cindy, and seven grandchildren.

"Our baseball community has lost a legend today," said Braves president John Schuerholz. "The Braves family and Braves fans everywhere will sadly miss him. Our thoughts are with his wife Paula and his children."

"I'm just in shock," Chip [Caray] said. "I know he wasn't feeling good, but this was unexpected. He hung the moon for me. I got to talk to him [on Saturday], and the last thing I got to say to him was, 'I love you.'"

RIP Skip. As much as I disliked the Braves in the '80s & '90s, I had no issue with you. Good play by play guy.

Are you kidding me?? That's no way for a man to die. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go.

[ghandi]

i wouldnt want to die that way because with my luck I would somehow live through and be in terrible pain till I die in my 90s.......

Surely you jest.

i wouldnt want to die that way because with my luck I would somehow live through and still have to suffer through being a Lions fan till I die in my 90s.......

FIFY.

[Drew]

Surely you QUOTE.

Yes Rommy, from Leslie Neilson in the Naked Gun. A personal fav quote of mine from that movie: "Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he's behind bars. Now, let's grab a bite to eat."
