From Ohio and I grew up a Braves fan because of (W)TBS. I grew up watching NWA wrestling, cartoons, and old sitcoms on TBS and that led into watching the Braves games as a teenager and young adult. Baseball hasn't been the same for me, or for the Braves as a team, since they left TBS.
WTBS kept Andy Griffith in rotation. Great times. I remember being a kid and everyone was so stoked to get a 4th tv channel with TBS. Channel 17. And yes wrestling was a huge part of their programming
Growing up in Pennsylvania I remembered "Superstation WTBS" for two things: Braves baseball, and that "150 Music Masterpieces" mail-order advertisement they used to air during practically every commercial break. Lol.
The Braves Being on TBS and being really good for an NL team is what created a massive fan base in the 90s I used to be a massive David Justice fan and then Chipper took over
I remember growing up in northwestern Pennsylvania in the 1980s and 1990s, when our cable company carried both WGN and TBS. I got to watch father and son whenever their respective games were on. Not only that, we also had both WWOR and WPIX out of New York carrying both of THEIR teams, plus the regional affiliates of the Indians and Pirates. Lastly, whenever the weather was good I was able to get Tigers games from the Detroit stations via a rooftop TV antenna. All that variety, and I end up becoming a Cincinnati Reds fan. Lol.
I remember watching Braves baseball on TBS hearing skip Carey along Pete Van Wiern with my late grandparents in Columbus Ga during the summer also the Chicago cubs on WGN with hall of fame Harry Carey Holy cow on the broadcast chip Carey was broadcasting Orlando magic basketball
The twins of Chip Caray have just been hired as a duo for the Double A team of the Diamondbacks, the Amarillo Sod Poodles. They haven't fully graduated college yet and have already gotten full time jobs, 138 games I think starting soon. Sounds like the general manager of that team was at the world series near the twins, mom and sister when one of the ushers pointed out to him that was Chip Caray's wife. He always wanted to meet Chip as he had met the 2 elder Caray's. They talked about the double A team and that they wanted to call games together one day. Sounds like in 2 weeks the job opened up and he hired them. So sweet to hear!
I've been a diehard baseball fan since 1995. I've watched countless games on WGN (and made me a die hard Cubs fan), and many games of TBS. I'm not even a Braves fan and I watched a ton of games on their Superstation. Brilliant move making these games nationwide. I grew up in California and New Mexico and watched more games from the teams located in Chicago and Atlanta than my local teams. Made a lot of new fans that way. Including myself.
If it wasn't for TBS the Braves might not have had as many fans what they do. I am from Arkansas and I still get TBS but no longer get Braves games as often. But to be fair the Braves have done well by the fans. But 3 generations of broadcasting took place with in one family Harry Carey Skip Carey and Chip Carey and we had the pleasure of witnessing most of it. I don't think that you can talk about the Baves and not mention Skip Carey when it comes to broadcasting. Not to leave out others either.
TBS was the best superstation showing Braves Baseball but reruns of family matters,saved by the Bell and world Championship Wrestling on Saturdays at 6:05pm the main event on Sundays at 6:05pm if the Braves were home or playing the mets,phillies,expos and pirates if the Braves played out in Los Angeles,san Francisco or San Diego it wasn't coming on after captain Planet at 5:30pm
A personal thrill for me was after the 13-1 loss in Game 5 last season in the NLDS (go figure). I came to the game in my UGA shirt. Chip, after the game and post-game, was gracious enough to pose for a photo with me with the Bulldog connections. A good dude.
Does anyone know where I can find the actual tribute that TBS did that they were about to show in this video before it got cutoff? I never got to see it. Never even got to see this game because it was on a Sunday.
nintendonerdsvideos he's announced for both teams. He took over for Harry in the Cubs' booth when he died, but then he later went to the Braves and got to do games alongside his dad. I always loved hearing them on the air and how he would still address him as "dad" even in the booth.
Did you ever confirm this date? That was what I wanted to know... When the beast took them off TBS ? If accurate... Skip dies less than 1 year later..Aug '08
TBS + WGN = My entire baseball childhood.
🥹 Well said!
@@TudorOwen50s 👍🏻
I hate the fact they arent on tbs anymore, oh the good ole days..
Those were good times!
Same with the Cubs not being on WGN anymore
ironic that they clinched a trip to the World Series on a TBS broadcast
Man I sure do miss those TBS days. Still love Chip in Fox Sports Soith.
That's the most beautiful goodbye I've ever seen
I always loved when Chip and Skip called the Braves games.
Touching, I was born in MN but the TBS crew is a big part of why I love baseball so much.

Wow! Same here! Even the part about being from Ohio :-) Except I didn't watch wrestling
You're a damn liar. Nobody watched TBS and didn't watch Wrasslin lol
When the Braves played the Cubs Skip would do an inning on WGN with his dad wish Harry had come on TBS

They really should have included Pete and Skip together for this final moment of Braves baseball on TBS.
Which originally aired 💨 on TBS September 30, 2007, of course, Chris.
Well, it's true.
Harry Casay, his son and grandson belongs in Cooperstown.

"And a fan from (Insert random Georgia town here) makes the catch."
As a Cubs fan this is why the Braves are the team in the national league I respect most
because of what we've shared

and the Caray family
Absolutely, man I just got chills reading this comment. Much respect and love.
@@georgiaboi5536 👍🏻
Love Chip's mullet
It's cocktail hour in heaven Skip!
You can say that again!
Wish Chip Carey would come back to Chicago.
I remember watching Braves baseball on TBS hearing skip Carey along Pete Van Wiern with my late grandparents in Columbus Ga during the summer also the Chicago cubs on WGN with hall of fame Harry Carey Holy cow on the broadcast chip Carey was broadcasting Orlando magic basketball
Nothing like getting off the school bus back in the 90's and tuning in to TBS to catch a Braves game or WGN for a Cubs game.
Dude yes. Always Cubs or Braves and an occasional ESPN game. Miss TBS so badly these days.
Kind of makes me sad that I'll never be able to take a picture like this again. With my dad and my dad's dad. 0:41

Braves play the astros for the last game on TBS. Braves beat the astros for the World Series tonight!

What a memory you have. I’m a lifelong Atlantan. You nailed that schedule
Let’s grow this channel ! SKIP CAREY MUST BE IN THE HOF!! If I can help let me
This will be even more sweeter if the Braves win the World Series this year in 2012.
+Tim Bliss I would love to see the tribute too. I remember watching it but have never seen it again.
Miss you Skip!
Harry Caray and Skip Casey R.I.P.
Harry Caray Skip Caray Chip Caray is a family broadcast tree.
A personal thrill for me was after the 13-1 loss in Game 5 last season in the NLDS (go figure). I came to the game in my UGA shirt. Chip, after the game and post-game, was gracious enough to pose for a photo with me with the Bulldog connections. A good dude.
And the sad part is that the people in Chicago couldn't see that amazing second clip since TBS was blacked out during games involving the Cubs.
Harry was a great Cardinal 25+ years in the booth
Maybe one day skip can work for the cardinals someday
You mean Chip....
And he was hired by the Cardinals in Feb "24..
Not too long after you put your comment up here.
The candid display of affection between father and son at 2:11 is touching.
Three Generations Of Caray Harry, Chip & Skip
I can't believe Chip Caray is leaving the Braves!
Hall of famers
why was Skip not asked to do the MLB games on TBS
Because if he was to be assigned a Braves game, he would be openingly rooting for Atlanta, which they did not want.
Brett Chafin Interesting since Pete Van Wieren did the 1995 NLDS between the Braves and Rockies series.
And Skip is now headed to the Cardinals
You meant Chip
@@AMEER-114- Yeah 🙌🏻.
@@jamesmcclelland1414
You have any clue when this TBS sign off occurred...as we see Skip and Chip do it in this vid ?
@@AMEER-114- September 30, 2007, of course.
Skip Caray passed in 2008.
August 3, 2008, to be exact.
Classic stuff
47 years wow!!!!
Have another cocktail, Harry.
Skip, Pete and Ernie Sr are still not in Cooperstown. Just don’t get it. All deserving

💗💗💗💗💗
How did a lot of fans after the Braves/Astros game in 2007 didn't leave the ballpark?
Not only was it the end of the season, but it was also Craig Biggio's final MLB game. Neither team qualified for the postseason.
I will never know if Chip is a Braves fan or a Cubs fan.
whomever signs the checks
