When Mark Holtz passed (our longtime announcer whose coined phrase was "Hello Win Column!!") I felt the same way. Also when Johnny Oates passed it sucked. It is funny how we become so attached to the personalities associated with our baseball teams. I can't think of another sport that engenders that type of connection.

Basketball.

Probably because of the sheer amount of games announcers of both sports end up calling. Hard not to develop an attachment.

Got to meet the guy who calls the Spurs games last year and I was just as excited to meet him as I was to meet a former player.
