So who’s in line for that job? I say give it to Jimmy Ott. We can get betting tips while he eats dinner over the PA in Tiger Stadium

Damn. Thats going to be really weird going to the stadium and not hearing him over the PA. As a kid, the hairs on my neck always stood up hearing “chance of rain…. NEVER”

Replacement will be Bill and that’s fine. But they really should go out and find a local that has a connection to football and a great voice.

A legendary PA announcer. Enjoy your time away from the mic.

They should play a recording of his voice in the pregame for chance of rain, and also when the sun sets in the western sky.

He’s been the PA announcer my entire life. It’s going to be weird hearing another voice.

My favorite memories of Dan were him announcing the starting lineups right before the band walked out.

I still miss Sid Crocker. Here's an interesting article about how Borne got the job:
