A little trivia ... did y'all know that Munson was on the Atlanta Braves' broadcasting team in 1966 and '67, along with Milo Hamilton and Ernie Johnson?
The story is that Munson left to focus completely on Georgia football (although he actually did an outdoors show too for WSB TV for years).
While there may actually be some truth to that, the rest of the story, I've heard from people who would know, is that one press box was not sufficient to contain the egos of Milo (who was just a wretch of a human being in a lot of ways off the air, just an arse) and Larry (he was great but name someone who's great at something and doesn't have a pretty healthy ego).
Have never heard a clip of Munson doing the Braves, don't know if any exist, I guess that would be a Holy Grail.
I can only imagine Munson's home run call ...

Yes. I did know that. I also have not heard any archived footage. He also did basketball for UGA for many years and did Falcons games in the 90s.

Munson started doing Georgia and Atlanta games after getting into an argument with WSM radio and tv management in Nashville. Munson had done Vanderbilt games for years as well as Nashville Vols games in the old Southern Association from the late 40s to early 1960's.
