As you can imagine, we had more comments on Milo Hamilton than we had room in Friday’s print edition. My colleagues Brian T. Smith, Jesus Ortiz and Craig Hlavaty provided the following observations from broadcasters and Astros employees.
Astros television announcer Bill Brown: “Milo is an important contributor to the history of this team and to the fans’ enjoyment of baseball. His passion was obvious. And if people turned on the radio and heard his voice, they immediately knew whether the Astros were winning or losing that game.
“He provided a lot of important and memorable moments for the fans and a lot of those moments are preserved on tape, so fans can continue to enjoy in future generations and can hear what an impact he had on the sport in Houston.
