Harry Christopher "Skip" Caray, Jr. is a TV and radio
broadcaster for the Atlanta
Braves of the National League.
Caray grew up in baseball as the son of 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. The Braves
currently broadcast on 96 rock FM in Atlanta.
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 recently befriended talk radio personality Wryn Vance. Caray
claims Vance, a morning-show host and football announcer, rejuvenated him
and his broadcasting abilities. Caray plans to broadcast Atlanta Braves
games for Turner Sports through the 2008 season.
