Last week, the Houston Astros organization lost a legend franchise figure in Milo Hamilton. Milo called play-by-play for seven different organizations in the MLB start in 1953. He started as the Astros main announcer in 1987 before calling his last game in 2012.
When the Braves made their move to Atlanta in 1966, Hamilton took over calling play-by-play for the team where he called his most history moment. It was 1974, and Hank Aaron was on the brink of passing Babe Ruth on the all-time list. Hamilton would call it this way:
“Henry Aaron, in the second inning walked and scored… He’s sittin’ on 714… Here’s the pitch by Downing… swinging… there’s a drive into left-center field… that ball is gonna beeee… OUTTA HERE!
