Marty Brennaman has already announced that this is his last year announcing for the Cincinnati Reds. I know him and Jack Buck were pretty good friends, they had a lot of respect for each other.
Just wondering if there is going to be anything planned for Marty the last time the Reds come to St. Louis this year? That would be August 30, 31, and September 1.
And remember some of Marty’s comments about the Cubs and Cardinal fans over the years. Sort of makes you like the guy even more..:)
———————————————————————————————————“”This is the kind of thing, quite honestly, right now, that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose. Among all baseball fans, and I can’t attest to the Yankees or Red Sox, because we don’t see them with any degree of regularity unless it’s inter-league play, but far and away the most obnoxious fans in baseball, in this league, are those who follow this team right here. Throwing 15 or 18 balls onto the field, there’s absolutely no excuse for that, and that is so typical of Chicago Cubs fans. It’s unbelievable.”
“You simply root against ’em. Y’know, I’ve said all winter they talked about this team winning the division, and my comment is they won’t win it, because at the end of the day, they still are the Chicago Cubs, and they will figure out a way to screw this whole thing up.”[6]
On April 18, 2008, Brennaman appeared in an interview on Chicago sports radio station WMVP-AM 1000 in which he reinforced his position on Cubs fans, and compared Chicago Cubs fans to rival St. Louis Cardinals fans.
“If they can’t understand what happened Wednesday night was completely over the top, then I’m sorry”, Brennaman said. “I said how tough it is to root for the Cubs. I think a lot of people feel the same way I do, but they won’t articulate it. I’m not afraid to say what I think.”
“[Compared to Cubs fans] Cardinals fans are hands down the best in baseball. They respect the game. They don’t go to the game to do stupid stuff.”
