Braves plan tribute for Caray at Turner Field

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, Braves chairman Terry McGuirk and Skip Caray's longtime broadcast partner Pete Van Wieren are among those scheduled to speak at a tribute to Caray at Turner Field on Tuesday morning.

Caray, 68, died Sunday. He was the son of well-known Cubs Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Caray and a member of the Braves broadcast team for 33 years.

Caray's last game in the broadcast booth was July 31. He called in sick last Friday. Various health problems had limited Caray to calling only home games this season.

One of Caray's sons, TBS broadcaster Chip Caray, also is scheduled to speak at the tribute. Another of Caray's longtime Braves broadcast partners, Joe Simpson, will lead the event.

The Braves also are planning to honor Caray before Tuesday night's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Fans also have been invited to attend a memorial service Monday at Christ the King Cathedral in Atlanta, but the events Tuesday were planned to better accommodate the public.
