Whichever one of you took that damned tiki doll... PUT IT BACK.

Sad to hear of the passing of former Astros radio announcer Milo Hamilton. It made me think - in my lifetime, I believe I've spent more hours listening to his voice than any other in sports. From stumbling upon a random Beaumont TX station in the early days of online broadcasts in 1996 (remember RealPlayer?) until upgrading to MLB Extra Innings to watch Astros games in 2004, I listened to him and Alan Ashby call probably 1,000+ games. The sound of him screaming "HOLY TOLEDO, WHAAAAAaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaTTTTTT A PLAY!!!" is tattooed in my brain. Glad to have met him a few times and found him as genuine in person as he seemed on the air.

Why are you a former Astros fan?

His last post was 2011, so my guess is he didn't enjoy riding the pain train as much as we did.

Post by: chuck on September 18, 2015, 11:06:19 am: I too found KOGT streaming in the 90's listened to the games over my 28.8 modem pretty much nightly. That was right about the time I found this place. Been living the dream ever since.

I think I liked Milo a lot more than most people did.

Everybody stays 10 years too long.
