ATLANTA -- Pete Van Wieren, who worked beside Skip Caray for 33 years, says Atlanta Braves fans lost more than just a broadcaster when Caray died in his sleep at home on Sunday.<br>
"He's certainly been as big an icon and big part of the franchise as any player or manager," Van Wieren said Sunday night.
The death of Caray, who was 68, marked the end of an era for the Braves and their fans.
"He's been through it all and he had a very unique style," Van Wieren said. "I think people appreciated his honesty and his irreverence at times. You never knew what you were going to get with Skip. It could be very factual or it could be very funny."
Caray was part of a family line of baseball broadcasters that included Hall of Famer Harry Caray.
