Ain’t that Broadcaster cold?

Chuck Thompson, hall of fame broadcaster for the Baltimore Orioles, has died at the age of 83. The unabashed homer was the voice of the Orioles for more than 50 years, and had been the voice of the Baltimore Colts for 30 years before the moving vans arrived in the middle of the night. The 1993 baseball hall of fame inductee’s best known catchphrase was the nonsensical, “Ain’t that beer cold?” to punctuate an Orioles homer or Colts touchdown.
