Braves Announcer Ernie Johnson, Senior Passes At 87

The HQ admits that we used to grow up listening to Pete, Skip, and Ernie Johnson, Senior...

And when Ernie go the chance to finish a game, it would always be with the following phrase: "On this winning night from Atlanta, so long everybody..."

He retired and came back when the Braves needed a fill-in back in the early 2000's... but the former Braves pitcher that became a broadcaster will always be remembered by a generation of fans as one of the soundtracks of the youth...

It sadly loses another piece...

Here's a story that John Patrick and the old "PM Magazine" Show ran on, what is now, Fox5 Atlanta WAGA-TV...

Back in 1982...
