Milo Hamilton, Hall of Fame Baseball Broadcaster, Called Hammerin' Hank's 715th HR, R.I.P.

Milo Hamilton, the long-time Hall of Fame baseball broadcaster, who, in 1974, as the Atlanta Braves' radio commentator, called Hank Aaron's record-breaking 715th home run, passed away on Thursday at age 88 after having broadcasted Major League Baseball games for 60 years.

Before settling with the Braves (1966-75), Mr. Hamilton worked for the Baltimore Orioles, St. Louis Cardinals, and Chicago Cubs.

After working for the Pittsburgh Pirates and again for the Cubs, Milo would work from 1987 until suffering a heart attack in 2012 for the Houston Astros.
