Chuck Thompson was one of the greats

Baltimore lost a legend today when former Orioles broadcaster Chuck Thompson passed away after a stroke.

His broadcasting was more of a memory for my parents growing up than mine; he retired from doing games fulltime in 1987, but what Baltimore-area resident has never heard "Go to war Miss Agnes" and "'Aint the Beer Cold" without thinking of Chuck.

Chuck Thompson was a legend in our time, and he will be missed. Our prayers go out to his family and closest friends.
