Pete Van Wieren former Atlanta Braves broadcaster has passed away at the age of 69 after a long battle with cancer. I started watching the Braves in 1980/81 and along with Skip Carey, Ernie Johnson, and John Sterling they formed a great team that drew in fans on TBS from all over the nation. Skip, who passed away a few years ago was such the opposite of Pete and I think that is why they made such a great team. Pete was known as the "Professor" because of his knowledge of baseball. Prayers for his family and friends.
