Happy 68th birthday to Marty Brennaman
He's been the voice of the Reds to so many now for 36 years. Sometimes I think we take for granted just how great of a broadcaster we've had the pleasure to listen to for most of our lives. Thanks for all the memories, especially those late night west coast road trips through my junior high and high school years. Happy birthday Marty!

Re: Happy 68th birthday to Marty Brennaman
Agreed. I love Marty because he's like me. Sometimes flawed with his analysis but a diehard Reds fan.. Also calls the game like no other, IMO.
There are plenty of other threads were Marty is bashed. Hopefully this one can stay positive.

Happy birthday to the man that, along with the late Joe Nuxhall, IS Reds baseball to much of the country.

Re: Happy 68th birthday to Marty Brennaman
Marty seems like a good man. I wonder if he'll ever retire.

Re: Happy 68th birthday to Marty Brennaman
I still remember when he came to the Reds to replace the "immortal" Al Michaels. Really bummed that we were losing Al for some unknown named who again?
You've come a long way Marty. Happy Birthday.

Marty's awesome. One of the very best broadcasters ever, IMO.
