Marty Brennaman, the radio voice of the Cincinnati Reds since 1974, has announced that he will be retiring after the 2019 season. Perhaps you’ve heard my initial reaction on the podcast. You’ve probably also read Doug’s piece on Marty’s retirement, or Mary Beth’s eloquent take.
I’ve had a few more thoughts about Marty’s retirement clanking around in my head. It seems like a good time to reflect on the guy who has been the soundtrack to my entire life. But first, watch Marty’s video announcing the big news.

It’s not surprising that Brennaman teared up in that video.
