Pretty emotional signoff from both Marty and Jeff. Also got what I believe was the first real confirmation that Tommy Thrall will be taking over.

Good lord this team is bad....

Yea, that's an appropriate last memory of him.. I am not listening, but the whining about Sosa/McGwire in Marty's last game also seems appropriate.

Marty was good for about half his career, then became a bitter , clueless old man.
AND THIS ONE BELONGS TO THE FANS, WHO THANKFULLY DON'T HAVE TO HEAR MARTY ANYMORE :lol:

I'm not sure I could disagree with something more, but to each their own.

Personally, I disagree. But in your opinion- based off your level of disdain- how does 9/26/2019 relate to your signature line of 11/13/07?

Always loved bitter clueless old announcers: Marty, Bob Prince, Ray Scott, Harry, the great Jack Brickhouse. They didn't suffer fools gladly.

I would have been disappointed if he done anything less to end his cantankerous career.

Again, talk about being bitter, I assume you’re not old though.

It worked fine, there were thousands of us fans in the stands and back on the concourses listening to Marty.
I've been listening to Reds games on radio since the 1960s. Back in the 60s and 70s many fans brought transistor radios to the game and listened to play by play.
I was surprised the radio came with batteries and that Marty called the whole game.
