Longtime Braves broadcaster Pete Van Wieren passes away after battle with

cancer

Sad news to pass along this morning, as the Braves have announced that longtime

broadcaster Pete Van Wieren has passed away following a long battle with cancer.

He was 69 years old.

Nicknamed “The Professor,” Van Wieren called Braves games on television and

radio for 33 seasons from 1976-2008. He became well-known nationally as a part

of the TBS booth alongside the likes of Skip Caray, Ernie Johnson Sr., Don

Sutton, and Joe Simpson. During his time with Turner Sports, he also broadcasted

NBA, NHL, and Big Ten Conference football games.

Van Wieren was inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame in 2004 along with Caray. After his retirement in 2008, he released a book entitled “Of Mikes and Men: A Lifetime of Braves Baseball,” which was co-written with Jack Wilkinson. The picture to the right is from a pre-game ceremony for Hank Aaron at the Braves home opener this past April.

Our thoughts are with Van Wieren’s family, friends, and colleagues.
