CINCINNATI -- Longtime Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman will become the first inductee into the team's hall of fame who is not a player, manager or general manager.
The team announced Friday that it will honor Brennaman in April. He said in January that he will retire after this season -- his 46th with the franchise.
Plans include a series of special events in September for what officials called the "Month of Marty." He will be the solo inductee into the hall of fame on April 25-26.
The hall's board of directors unanimously voted to change the organization's bylaws and allow Brennaman's induction.
