HOUSTON — Milo Hamilton, a Hall of Fame broadcaster whose radio calls over six decades included 11 no-hitters and Hank Aaron's historic 715th home run in 1974, died on Thursday. He was 88.
The Houston Astros announced the death of their longtime play-by-play man, well known for using the phrase "Holy Toledo." A cause of death was not immediately released for Hamilton, who worked for seven teams.
Hamilton spent 60 years broadcasting major league games, and was working for WSB radio in Atlanta when Aaron became the all-time home run leader on April 8, 1974. Hamilton later said he didn't rehearse the call, but it went off without a hitch.
