The great Milo Hamilton died in 2015. Hamilton was born in Iowa on this day in 1927, served in the US Navy and then started doing radio play by play for local teams.
Hamilton was a great baseball voice and I remember catching many of the Astros’ broadcasts on I-45.
He was in the middle of the greatest moments in Astros' history: Houston's first World Series appearance in 2005, Nolan Ryan's 5th no-hitter, Craig Biggio's 3,000th hit and Mike Scott's no hitter that clinched the 1986 AL West title. (I remember catching the last inning of that game on the radio)
